Cook County Forest Preserve

Unfortunately, at the last minute I was unable to attend the October 3 Board meeting, but it is worth noting that they have published their 2012 Land Acquisition Plan.  This will guide spending of the $25 million from bonds that were issued earlier this year.  Land Acquisition is one of the only areas in this year's budget where spending was increased,  with the intent to take advantage of low interest rates and a depressed real estate market.  See http://fpdcc.com/land-acquisition-plan/  for details.
