People walk by an ad for Chanel at Westfield Old Orchard Shopping Center Thursday, March 3, 2022 in Skokie, Illinois. Skokie lawmakers during their Feb. 7 village board meeting voted 7 to 1 to make the mall a “business district,” under Illinois’ Business District Development and Redevelopment Sales Tax provision, allowing businesses there to charge an extra 1% sales tax.
