This morning's agenda https://t.co/duph5xpxGP

CCLBA was formed by ordinance of Cook County in 2013 to address the large inventory of vacant residential, industrial and commercial property in Cook County. CCLBA is a unit of Cook County government, funded primarily with grants, contributions and revenues from transactions.

CCLBA has a handy, interactive map showing properties currently under their management: public-cclba.epropertyplus.com/landmgmtpub/ap…

Folks can use the tool to find more information for each property and apply to purchase the property.

The Land Transactions Committee meeting has begun at 10:12am.

Roll is called.

There are no registered public speakers.

Chad Tady from SUNPOWER gives a proposal regarding the 36-acre property located at 11400 S Torrence. @CCLBA acquired this property, which was formerly owned by a railroad. CCLBA will decide whether to enter into a lease agreement with SUNPOWER, who'd use the site for solar panels https://t.co/RRShFycOtM

SUNPOWER has an alternative proposal that would use only 20 of the 36 acres, allowing community use of the remaining land.

Part of this project is producing energy that would allow low-income residents to purchase energy with a cost savings of about 50% compared to ComEd. Residents would need to change their energy provider to SUNPOWER.

This would be the first property leased by @CCLBA to a for-profit company. However, the committee notes that Cook County does this all the time.

Tady / SUNPOWER proposal slides continued https://t.co/fKktDJHXKg

Tady notes the subscription potential could go to anyone currently on ComEd. The committee has asked for increased focus on CHA residents and facilities.

Alderman Garza notes this site has been dormant for about 25 years. Apparently Acme Steel once employed 10k people on this site.

Alderman Garza and Cook County Commissioner Stanley Moore are present to voice their support for the SUNPOWER proposal.

The committee unanimously approves the resolution to enter into a lease agreement with SUNPOWER.

Next: Darlene Dugo presents the Land Transaction report https://t.co/dJheZlS5UM

Dugo slides continued (not all slides were discussed, so I wasn't able to grab a capture of each). https://t.co/KlZkq37RAU

The committee approves the meeting minutes from October 9th.

There is no Chairman's report.

The meeting adjourns at 11:05am.

Dugo had shared a recent article regarding the Animal Care League's use of land purchased through the @CCLBA
