  1. If they do not do this then they should sell the land and return the open space money.

    That dump is not worth holding on to

  2. Let’s be real! Educational and recreational programming lease…Call it what it is, a profiting commercial business lease.

    Public Comments? What for? The Village already leased the property as commercial use. I wonder if the neighbors at Habernickel even know they were mauled over like road kill?

  3. Watch Roberta defend the decision to move forward before notifying residents She’s got to go.

  4. Health Barn is a non-profit and a charity.

    Seems like a good organization.

  5. Gand why is it Habernickle Park? She sold the land, it was not donated to the village

  6. I agree 201. She got 10 million, market price.
    It used to be Hoffman farm, so call it that or hillcrest park .
    But Irene does not deserve any recognition whatsoever. ( she is gwenns
    Aunt in case you newbies didn’t know that)

  7. Its not about the health barn thats sound good. Its about the “Process” as Big Al the Developers Friend has said about other decisions

  8. 1:17 HealthBarn Foundation is non profit. The new occupants, HealthBarn USA, is not. Same people…just flipped the switch from serving public to…now lets make money from this. Looks like they will fit right in, along side the 3amigos.
