Smigel Wins Court Nod Against Board
Victor Smigel, Bloomingdale developer, won a DuPage County ruling granting 13 building permits and sewer connections for Lake Street and Glen Ellyn Road projects. Judge William Guild ordered the village to issue permits and allow hookup to sewer lines, while Smigel funds upgrades at the failing plant and oversizes mains. The decision shapes financing for a broader 800,000 gallon plant with expansion to 2 million, tied to Hoffman-Rosner and Campanelli developments.
