DuPage County
The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County wanted to buy Old Wayne Golf Course to link two forest preserves next to the site with a bike trail. But the owner wanted to keep the land. So the district asked CorLands to find a solution. CorLands prepared a conservation easement that enabled the owner to keep the property and reap tax benefits. Meanwhile, the district gained the desired trail link and the assurance that the land would permanently remain open space.
