Ida Crown Academy Is Interested in Rand McNally Site
Submitted by lee on February 22, 2008 - 4:16pm.
Ida Crown Jewish Academy, located in Chicago, is interested in buying the Rand McNally property as a potential site. However, since the property is located in District 73.5, which doesn't have the same commerical tax base from which to generate revenue as do other Skokie school districts, there is some concern from Mayor Van Dusen that the district "doesn't take a hit if the Ida Crown project moves forward." The property in question is at 8225 Central Park Ave. and a site plan would have to be submitted and presented before the plan commission for a zoning change. Talks are still in progress and a deal has not yet been finalized.
