Glenview officials gave the green light to sell 41 acres of former Glenview Naval Air Station land for redevelopment for a total of $22.3 million to Willow Creek Community Church in Northfield and Glenview-based Edward R. James Partners, Chicago Tribune reported. 

Willow Creek Community Church purchased 12 acres on the southern part of the property and plans to build a one-story, 75,000-square-foot building then relocate the church from Northfield to Glenview. While the real estate company purchased the remaining 29 acres and hopes to build a total of 171 housing units—35 single-family villas, 68 town homes and 68 row homes—on the property, Chicago Tribune reported.
