I was disappointed, but not surprised that at last night's Village Board Meeting, Flossmoor's Village Board proceeded with the plans for a CVS Pharmacy on the corner of Kedzie & Flossmoor Road. At the December 15th meeting, representatives from HF High School not only voiced their concerns about the safety of students crossing the busy intersection, they mentioned the "action" that a drugstore may attract after football games. Their concerns are warranted.
At the time of this blog entry, the minutes for the December 15th Board Meeting were not on the Village's website. I am encouraging you to call the Village and request the minutes and read what the HF representatives said. After all, Homewood-Flossmoor administrators are not only leaders in education, they also happen to be experts on the purchasing, eating, & walking habits of teenagers.
Is this corner really the best place for a drugstore? Or is it the only place we have left, because Flossmoor lacks a comprehensive economic development plan? Just another set of
questions that has prompted me to run for Village Trustee.
