Under pressure to settle a developer’s lawsuit, the Homewood Village Board agreed Tuesday night to give up the town’s control over anything that gets built on the former Calumet Country Club.
The decision to exclude the property from the south suburb’s boundaries could give the developer, Diversified Partners, a better chance to construct a trucking hub on the 127-acre site at 2136 175
th St. The board’s 4-0 vote clears the way for Diversified to ask neighboring Hazel Crest to annex the property.
Under intense pressure from people who opposed the industrial development on open land, Homewood trustees on March 9 unanimously rejected zoning for the project. But the decision left the village open to damages in a lawsuit Diversified filed to bring the property to Hazel Crest.

A “hot mic” incident has inflamed an already contentious debate over turning a country club into a shipping hub in south suburban Homewood.
Opponents of the project recorded village officials saying derogatory things about them before a public Zoom hearing started Thursday. One calls opponents “a holes” and appears to muse about shooting them.
Now there are demands for firings and the village said it is investigating.
A group called South Suburbs for Greenspace over Concrete has organized opposition to the project, citing potential pollution, noise and truck traffic near homes. The 127-acre site, northwest of Dixie Highway and 175th Street, is the former Calumet Country Club. With usage declining, club members sold the property to the development firm Diversified Partners.
