Ruling on Woodridge property

Community High School District 99 was notified July 28 that the Illinois Appellate Court has affirmed two earlier lower court rulings in the eminent domain case regarding the 45-acre site in Woodridge.

The Appellate Court affirmed a 2007 ruling that the Village of Woodridge had the authority to purchase the vacant property through eminent domain. The Appellate Court also affirmed a 2008 ruling setting the value of the land at $14.2 million. District 99 had appealed both earlier rulings.

District 99 is in the process of studying the ruling and will hold a Board of Education meeting shortly to determine its response.

We, the community members of School District 99, have united in a common cause. We have been fighting to have our voice heard. We encourage the board to accept the 3 separate rulings of the courts and to stop this unnecessary spending of the tax payers hard earned money.
