Burr Ridge Industrial Site On Market

BURR RIDGE, IL – The site of CNH Industrial in Burr Ridge is on the market, with the company moving workers to other places.

In an email to Patch on Tuesday, Village Administrator Evan Walter said the village was aware that the company continues to market the 110-acre property at 6900 Veterans Boulevard.

But he said the village has had no contact with specific developers and has not been made aware of any proposals for the property.

Last summer, the village announced CNH, formerly International Harvester, was planning to sell the property and transfer the staff elsewhere.

"When a developer places the property under contract to purchase from CNH, we will engage with that developer to learn about their vision for the property, which possibly may include changes at the property," Walter said in the email.

The village, he said, would make the public aware on its website and through legal notices if any zoning changes are proposed.

CNH and International Harvester have been tied to Burr Ridge's history.

According to the village, International Harvester's decision to build a research center nearby prompted residents to vote for incorporation in 1956 as the village of Harvester. The name changed to Burr Ridge six years later.

Burr Ridge's Harvester Park was named in honor of the company.

The company could not be reached for comment.
