Summary
Ordinance #2026-10 passed unanimously on July 15 to annex an approximate 23-acre parcel at 305 & 309 East Sauk Trail into Chicago Heights; the landowner seeks city water and sewer access.
The Chicago Heights City Council approved Ordinance #2026-10 to annex an approximate 23-acre parcel of vacant land at 305 and 309 East Sauk Trail in unincorporated Cook County. Alderman Sonia Perez moved the ordinance and Alderman Wanda Rodgers seconded; the motion carried with six ayes and one member absent.
Corporation Counsel T.J. Somer told the council that the landowner desires access to the city's water and sewer services, which was cited as part of the petitioner's rationale. The annexation was recorded in the July 15 minutes as approved; further steps such as utility connections and any site-redevelopment plans will follow required permitting and engineering review.
