Probably too late, but.
From the Belvidere Township website:
"Q. What is a Township’s responsibility?
A. By law, Illinois townships are charged with three basic functions: 1) general assistance for the indigent; 2) the assessment of real property for the basis of local taxation; 3) maintenance of all roads and bridges outside federal, state and other local jurisdiction."
This acquisition doesn't have anything to do with 'assessment' nor with 'roads and bridges', so EXACTLY how this this provide 'general assistance for the indigent' ???
Additionally, what is the cost of any and all remediation needed? Or doesn't anyone know? If not, why not?
And, what are the annual operational costs for this property after acquisition? Or doesn't anyone know? If not, why not?
And, the Belvidere Park District gets about 5% of my tax dollars (a lot); if they want this, why don't they acquire it?
