Dear Sir:
DCC Propane (f/k/a Hicksgas) has requested to continue leasing approximately 2.5 acres of District real estate located at 15680 Canal Bank Road, Lemont, Illinois, known as Main Channel Parcel 23.10 (“MC 23.10”), for a new 14-year term. DCC Propane currently leases the site for the operation of a retail propane distribution business, including bulk storage.
