Village hopes to extend Brown/ Harlem TIF Move requires Illinois General Assembly approval, support from all taxing bodies By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter
The Village of Forest Park is considering asking the state to extend the Brown Street/Harlem Avenue Tax Increment Financing District, which is scheduled to expire in 2023, for another 12 years. The TIF, which is also known as the Brown Street Station TIF, mostly falls within the area bounded by the Green Line/Metra line embankment to the north, Brown Street to the west, Franklin Street to the south and Harlem Avenue to the east. The village is hoping to use future TIF revenue to fund several projects in the northeast corner of Forest Park, including redoing the Harlem Avenue railroad bridge, demolishing the waSee TIF on page 14
