How many acres compose property?

Owner needs a real estate tax attorney, pronto. This horse-farm property should be assessed as agricultural land-use, at much lower valuation, rather than as commercial land-use, such as a shopping center or office building.

Cook County Forest Preserve presently has a large budget-allowance amount for new land acquisitions, part of recent referendum. Likely this horse-farm is specifically targeted for acquisition. There are few privately-owned land parcels remaining in Cook County that are suitable for Cook County Forest Preserve acquisition purposes.

Preckwinkle doesn’t like them because they’re white and primarily used by whites; just like the Forest Preserve district let the tobogganing slide go to hell for the same reason. Remember John Stroger? Boy was he a piece of work.
