The town of Cicero unanimously voted Tuesday to approve Wirtz Beverage Illinois’ request to build a $70-million, 600,000-square-foot distribution center at a location that used to be a racetrack. Wirtz’ new center will incorporate the company’s other offices and warehouses in Schaumburg, Wood Dale, Bensenville and Elk Grove Village.

The company had said in a statement last week that most of its 1,000 employees would move to the new center.

Cicero is in discussions with Wirtz about providing a public subsidy for the project in the form of tax-increment financing. Details of the incentive package have yet to be finalized, said Ray Hanani, spokesman for the town. The old Sportsman’s Park site is part of a TIF district.
