The Skokie Village Board recently voted to back a special county tax break officials say will allow deteriorating space in the village's East Industrial Area to be significantly rehabbed as the new home of a kosher food distribution company.

Shmuel Wasserman, owner of vacant property at 8121 Central Park Ave., said he will lease the property to another company that he primarily owns, Mid Town Distribution LLC.

The kosher food distribution company is currently leasing space at 7522 St. Louis Ave., according to the village, but the lease expires at the end of the year.
