The Dundee Neighbors have not disappeared--in fact, we're growing!
Obviously, we're dissatisfied with the behavior of the Village during the Wal-Mart issue. When people face possible devastation of their home values, degradation of the community character, and a seriously new direction in planning, the process should be more open then a notice and, two months later, a 24-Hour, 200,000 square foot Supercenter and 30 acres of asphalt.
No matter how they try to spin it, that is not an open process. We, the residents who will be most impacted, were left scrambling for time to have the materials reviewed, to retain an attorney, and spent literally hundreds of hours making sure the entire village was kept in the know.
That is not an open process and, frankly, the fact that the Village felt no need to inform us that this massive development was coming in before the legally required notice date demonstrates that they knew we wouldn't be happy, and wanted to avoid involving us. Shameful.
But that's not why we're continuing on--we believe in our community. The outpouring of support from every part of the Village has made it clear that there IS support for a new vision and direction for our wonderful little town.
So we invite you to post a comment, or send an email, letting us know about YOUR ideas for the future of West Dundee--and the kinds of policies YOU would like to see.
Tell us West Dundee--what is on your mind?
Your Friends
The Dundee Neighbors
