CHAMPAIGN – Local developer Paul Tatman has told the city of Champaign that he and a Dallas, Texas, company would be willing to buy the old Burnham City Hospital site at fair market value and construct a mixed-use development with no or little city assistance.
City officials say at this point they still have confidence in the city's designated developer, Pickus Companies of Highland Park. But Mayor Jerry Schweighart made a pointed mention of the Tatman offer at a recent city council meeting where Pickus officials successfully sought additional financial incentives to redevelop the site.
