Project: South Suburban Tax Reactivation Project (SSTRP)

Location: Chicago South Suburbs in Cook County, Illinois.

Challenge: Many industrial and commercial tax delinquent properties remained vacant or abandoned, underutilized and off the property tax rolls.

Solution: Cook County established SSTRP to facilitate development and bring economic benefit to targeted areas in the south suburbs of Chicago. The program enables municipalities to acquire tax delinquent properties without having to pay the back-taxes owed. Kingfisher Group, in partnership with Sheldon Good & Company (a national real estate brokerage firm) was awarded the marketing contract for the Cook County South Suburban Tax Reactivation Project (SSTRP). In addition to the marketing, Kingfisher Group conducted environmental assessments on specific properties.
