A Northbrook neighborhood group plans an organizing meeting tonight to oppose a 38 acre Discovery Village Inc. project for mentally handicapped residents.

Local residents voice concerns over property values while supporters cite community need and supervision. The City Planning and Zoning Commission will discuss the project next week at City Hall ahead of a full vote on October 3.
