  Commission Recommendation Conveyance Report

BRAC Summary: The land for the Worth Army Family Housing Site was leased to the Army in November 1956 by the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago. The housing was constructed in 1958 to support the adjacent NIKE missile battery and was Army-owned. In 1963, the missile site was closed and the housing retained for use by active duty personnel. Fort Sheridan provided installation oversight through closure and property transfer. In June 1993, the Lessor notified the Army that it was exercising its right to have the site restored; possible responses were either demolition of the housing or compensation in lieu of demolition. The parties agreed on the latter at a price of $126,106. The housing site was closed in 1993.

Property Description: The housing site was located on 7.40 acres of land in Worth, Cook County, IL. It consisted of 12 “Capehart”-style single-family housing units: seven three- bedroom units and five two-bedroom units.
