CHICAGO (WBBM) — It’s been called an eyesore and a safety hazard, and on Tuesday, Tinley Park leaders said they want the state to take action to sell a former health facility.

For about a decade, village leaders said the building standing on 280 acres in Tinley Park has gone to waste. Now, they’re urging Gov. JB Pritzker to sell the site to Tinley Park’s park district.

The opening price? Only $1.00

Supporters said the deal would give the village the chance to turn the land into a recreational space, while also saving taxpayers money.
