The mayor says the business owner deserves the city’s 16th liquor license, but Alderman Josh Deabel isn’t so convinced.
Chicago Heights city council approved the addition of another liquor license during their Feb. 4 meeting. The new license, awarded to the Mobil gas station at 431 W 14th Street, is the 16th of its kind according to the Northwest Indiana Times. The decision, however, was not unanimous.

It may be that all that is standing between Chicago Heights and the construction of a $23 million living facility for seniors at 1040 Dixie Highway is a technicality. Even though a deal to sell the parcel to developers who want to build the facility has been in the works for two years, by law, the City of Chicago Heights has to place a public notice in the newspaper to see if there is anyone else who wants to buy the parcel. "The law is kind of an impractical way to motivate development.
