The Village Board voted to approve and authorize execution of a license access and indemnity agreement with E and R Development Corporation to permit construction activity on downtown Orland Park Parcel H while the purchase closing remains in process.

Trustee Leafblad moved to approve the agreement and authorize the village manager to execute it subject to village‑attorney review; the motion passed on roll call with trustees and the mayor voting in the affirmative. Village staff explained the agreement is part of the RDA process with Edwards Realty and will allow the tenant identified as Weber Grill to break ground prior to the parcel’s formal closing so construction can begin immediately.

A trustee asked staff to invite a representative of Edwards Realty to the next committee‑of‑the‑whole to provide a broader update on the Triangle redevelopment and Parcel H status. Staff said the license is conditioned on final attorney review and that the developer remains responsible for indemnity and for completing any required closing conditions.

The ordinance and license allow work to commence, and staff said, if approved, the developer expected to break ground as soon as the agreement was executed.
