Village-Owned Property For Sale!

Trailer, for sale or rent

With the Village's recent move to the Municipal Center at 555 Reinking Road, there are a number of parcels of land near Reinking Road and Route 20 that the Village owns, but no longer requires the use of.  Accordingly, as a component of the Village's efforts to spur economic development in the area, the Village Board has directed that several parcels be offered for sale by competitive, sealed bid.

The first set of parcels is 4 properties comprising the former Village Hall site.  A map of the parcels is included below:

Village Hall Parcels

The parcels are the 4 properties bounded by blue in the above-provided photograph, which include the former Building Division offices at 40W885 Railroad Street, the former Village Hall and the white block building adjacent to it.

The second site is the currently vacant/park area at the intersection of Reinking Road and Route 20, bounded in turquiose, below:

Second Property Site

Note that this parcel is likely to be affected by the proposed construction of a roundabout at Reinking Road and Route 20, as conceptually depicted below:

Route 20 Roundabout Concept

The Village is seeking sealed bids for the purchase of any or all of the properties.  There are some restrictions on the sale, regarding proposed future uses.  Purchasers are required to disclose and detail their proposed use for the properties (and their timeline for development).  It is likely that rezoning will be required to accommodate proposed uses.  All sealed bids must be received by the Village by Friday, October 4, 2019 as outlined below.

The legal specifications for the bid process are outlined below, including legal descriptions, PINs, the bidding conditions and minimum pricing, and use restrictions.  Anyone interested in purchasing should contact the Village at 847/464-5533.  These parcels are going to be prime areas for commercial use as development continues along Route 20.

And now, the fun legal stuff:

The Village of Pingree Grove Board of Trustees hereby gives public notice that it is soliciting proposals relating to certain parcels of real property that the Village owns.
