Opposition to Gas Station Erection in Forest Park
Forest Park Baptist church representatives voiced opposition to rezoning of a parcel on Harlem and Dixon from Commercial A to Commercial B, which would allow Sun Oil Co to seek a gas station permit. Church members claimed inadequate notice of zoning board action. Village officials noted notices were published in the Forest Park Review and defended meeting disclosures. Council also received a report that November parking meter revenue totaled 1,043.73.
