Some say the industrial campus could bring hundreds of trucks in and out – just feet from a residential subdivision.
"We don't want 600 trucks a day, 24/7, coming in and out of Deerfield," said Lisa Rosen, a member of the Thorngate subdivision in Riverwoods near the Baxter campus.
"My daughter has been hospitalized with asthma, and she's been in the ER – and I'm just really concerned with the diesel fumes and what that will do to her health," said Barbara Mooney, also of the Thorngate subdivision. The medical giant Baxter International is nearing a deal to sell its sprawling corporate campus to Bridge International.
Bridge International went before the Deerfield Plan Commission to propose annexing the facility to Deerfield – and rezoning it for industrial and recreational use. "We're proposing to redevelop this land to a modern, state-of-the-art, environmentally conscious Class A corporate campus for industrial tenants," said Jonathan Pozerycki of Bridge International."We don't know the tenant or the type of operation that's going to be there at the end of the day," Pozerycki said at the meeting to boos from the crowd.
