Gateway Plaza Approved In Orland Park
Plans call for a City Barbecue and McAlister's Deli at 143rd and LaGrange.
ORLAND PARK, IL - Two restaurants and a vision care retail store are all set to open in a development to be called Gateway Plaza at 143rd and LaGrange Road in Orland Park. The village board voted at its most recent meeting to approve the site plans and variances for the endeavor, according to a report from The Regional News.
GW Properties, which owns the property at 14301 S. LaGrange Road, plans to build a structure with a two-story facade. It will be home to a City Barbecue and McAlister’s Deli.
The plan was approved despite multiple voices of opposition from Orland Park residents including Rick Boehm, a former Orland Park village manager and current village manager in Palos Park.

“I don’t think those restaurants are the right choice for a gateway to the village,” said Boehm. “With barbecue, comes smoke.”
Boehm predicts the smell of the smoke will not be popular with downtown residents and shoppers.
