Additional Information For Those Opposed To Navistar Deal

Hello friends,

As you know Navistar has been redeveloping their plans for the Lucent/Alcatel site and, according to the Village of Lisle, they should be submitting those plans very soon. After that, the Village will set up a date to resume the planning and zoning hearings.

Until then, you have several opportunities to learn more about how the proposed development will impact you personally.

Please plan to attend:

1. DuPage County Board Meeting
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
7:30 pm

How to get there:
Meetings are located on the 3rd floor of the DuPage Center Administration Building. 421 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton. The easieist way to get there is to park in the garage directly North of the building and go up to the third floor. From there you can walk across the enclosed bridge directly to the meeting room.

Why is this meeting going to be interesting:
With the recent reduction in the assessed value of the Alcatel-Lucent building at 2600 Warrenville Road, School District 203 looses hundreds of thousands of tax dollars annually. This is the first meeting following the re-assesment so there will be lots of concerned citizens who will be speaking out against all things Navistar.

Why you should attend:
To show the DuPage County Board and the press that opposition to Navistar's plan for a Heavy Industrial Diesel Testing facility has not gone away. It has grown.
