Buying this tiny property was on the agenda last night. Stan Nord was the only NO vote.
There was no appraisal done. According to PDF page 92, the following PIN numbers were involved:
The County shows this property in the Uptown TIF.
Here’s where it gets funny – the Town of Normal sold 14-27-353-003 in 2003:
William Ohlendorf put the property in a Land Trust sometime after buying it.
Anybody find it interesting now the Town needs it back?

Almost $200K an acre! Isn’t a parcel in the WHOLE of uptown worth that!
Very odd. At the very least, they violate their fiduciary responsibility to the tax paying citizens of Normal when they throw out money around as though it’s their own. Sure explains a few things though.
Sounds like there may be some crooks that reside at Town Hall?
