cook county land bank.

Statement from Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer - July 24, 2012
"I am happy to report Cook County is moving forward with an initiative to create what will be the nation's largest land bank. The resolution, sponsored by myself and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle to establish an advisory committee was approved at today's Cook County Board meeting. With a strong focus on collaboration with Suburban Cook County and on economic growth opportunities, the Advisory Committee will set the implementation strategy for the launch of a Cook County Land Bank.

when someone would do something about the empty and boarded-up houses and buildings. Suburban Cook County needs jobs...on a massive scale; maybe some companies would actually come in. Any companies who actually move to Chicago, almost always end up going to Northern IL. Always wondering why? Close to the airport? Better public transportation? Who knows...
