The Village recently executed a TIF Term Sheet in cooperation with Experior which provides overall guidelines for negotiating the redevelopment agreement.

The Experior site was initially reviewed under the 2015 Clean Water Rule which was phased out and replaced with the 2019 Navigable Water Protection Rule. Since the implementation of the  2019 Navigable Water Protection Rule on August 22, 2020;  the USACE has made recent jurisdictional determinations in the downstream vicinity of the site.

With this new information, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has now determined that the wetlands on the Experior site no longer meet the criteria for federal jurisdiction. The onsite wetlands are subject to the isolated wetland provisions of the MWRD stormwater ordinance. Experior intends to continue to follow all applicable regulation concerning wetlands and stormwater management requirements. Comments that were received during the USACE public notice are being considered and will be incorporated into the final design where possible.

Project History

In 2003 and 2004, the Village of Schaumburg purchased 55 acres of vacant property near the southwest corner of Irving Park and Rodenburg roads to control what is developed in the glide path of the airport and to prepare the area for future economic development opportunities, as directed by the village’s official Comprehensive Plan. The village incurred additional expenses to remediate the environmentally contaminated areas of the site and help stimulate community development. 

In 2018, the village entered into a contract with Experior Transport, a freight logistics company, for them to purchase the site and construct a 140,000 square foot corporate headquarters, warehouse space and fueling station. As part of the development, Experior would also construct a public access road and bike path through the property that connects the Schaumburg Metra Station to Rodenburg Road.
