Forest Preserve should not ignore Partnership

Just read the LCFPD press release on an open house for public input on Fort Sheridan. Only problem is that they are still ignoring the request of their grantor's (Highland Park, Highwood, and Fort Residents) to have a face to face discussion on this matter.

Again, the land was conveyed to Lake County with monetary consideration fully paid for by the residents of the Town of Fort Sheridan and the political advocacy of Highland Park and Highwood in exchange for a 18-26 million dollar golf course consideration and maintenance. Without those two components the land would have never been transferred.

It is time for the LCFPD to stop the disinformational spin and begin to negotiate with its community partners. A unilateral release of the covenant will never be accepted by the City of Highland Park, Highwood, or the residents of Fort Sheridan for no other offer of consideration has been made or accepted.
