Homeowners protest owner completion plan in New Lenox subdivision
More than 30 residents of Country Creek in New Lenox petitioned at a village board meeting to require all owner completion homes to meet annexation agreement restrictions. They argue the project by New Lenox Lumber could devalue nearby properties valued between 55 000 and 75 000 dollars while negotiations continue to purchase 100 lots from the subdivision’s developers.

Mokena District 159 Eyes Tax Levy to Fend Off Deficit
The Mokena Board of Education, after seating new members Kay Weidner and Richard Mansfield, considered a tax levy increase to cover a $700,000 shortfall. Proposals include a 14 cent rise and a potential 44 cent maximum rate to fund the budget and the Community Development Building project, with a special meeting set for April 21 and a follow up on April 27 at Mokena Elementary. The plan drew mixed audience reaction, with some support and about five dissenters from a League of Women Voters group.
