Appeals board backs rezoning for two Grundy tracts
The Grundy County Zoning Board of Appeals recommended changing 3.78 acres near Evergreen Cemetery from manufacturing to residential and Goose Lake School property on Pine Bluff Rd from agriculture to manufacturing. Petitioners LeMenager and the White family own the cemetery-adjacent parcel. A second parcel would enable a warehouse operation for Streator Industrial Supply. The board approved both recommendations unanimously, noting frontage, flood plain, and future development impacts.
