Case Targets Use Of Public Funds To Repair Houses Of Worship

A Mexican restaurant, Tequila Raizes, is planned in downtown Homewood on village-owned property, with the village backing a property tax incentive for the owner. The property, at 18134 Dixie Highway, used to be the location of Savoia’s T’Go. The village has owned the site since 2015. The sale to Joaquin Anguiano, for $1, includes the adjacent Independence Park. Anguiano owns a restaurant on Chicago’s Southwest Side and plans to invest $2.3 million in building Tequila Raizes, according to the village. A redevelopment and sales agreement with Anguiano were approved last week by the Homewood Village Board. Village officials said other options had been sought for developing the site, now vacant with the exception of the park.

The gap of time between how long Americans live and how much of that time is spent in good health only grew wider in the last two decades, according to a new study published in JAMA Network Open.
