IEPA Wants Boundary Agreement Between Villages of Crete, Beecher
» Carol Henrichs - Beecher Herald - September 4, 2008
Some time between now and mid-November, officials from the villages of Crete and Beecher will sit down to try to resolve a conflict about their common borders.
Neither Bob Barber, village administrator at Beecher, nor Tom Durkin, village administrator at Crete, has settled on a meeting time. Barber suggested possibly around Labor Day, although Durkin said he wasn't sure that was possible.
"The letter from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) asked us to get together within 120 days," Durkin said, adding that is around mid-November.
He indicated it would have to be before that.
Durkin was non-committal about the potential to establish a development boundary between the two towns, because Crete Mayor Mike Einhorn has signaled he is against that.
Yet that was the directive in the letter from the IEPA. Representatives of both towns were told to come up with an agreement on the 1,168 acres of land that both communities want to control for industrial use purposes.
