Orland's downtown development will struggle because the Southwest Service Metra is a joke. It is about a 60 minute train ride to/from Union Station. There are no expresses and there are only a few trains that go every morning. That train line has to give way to freight and is severely hampered by the Knot south of the city. There is also very little single family home stock near the 143rd street train station, so it's not like people from the "neighborhood" are going to walk or ride their bikes to the train and really liven up a downtown. They are trying to manufacture something that nearby burbs like La Grange, Western Springs, Hinsdale, Downer Grove, or Naperville (etc) have naturally, and its an uphill climb.
