Land dispute yields bittersweet compromise for Frankfort and University Park
The Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission approved a six month land dispute compromise between Frankfort and University Park over extending water and sewer service into Green Garden Township and adjoining areas. Frankfort gains 2560 acres south of Steger Road to Stuenkel Road while University Park receives 2400 acres east of Harlem Avenue to Interstate 57. Both towns sought far more land and expressed disappointment, but officials say the plan preserves future expansion options and anchors short term needs. Consumers Illinois Water Co. criticized the decision. See LAND, Page A-4.
