Resident urges transparency and removal of industrial appraisal for Will Springs property

During the first public comment slot a resident identified as Mr. White criticized the district's handling of marketing for the Will Springs property, saying the superintendent's plan listed industrial use that conflicts with zoning and the preferences of surrounding communities. He said two surviving members of an earlier majority engaged in improperly held meetings and urged the board to be transparent, to remove an industrial appraisal from the district website, and to publish the current zoning appraisal instead.

Mr. White said he would provide a copy of a zoning analysis presented to the Willow Springs Village board in November 2023, and he warned of renewed community opposition if industrial use remained on the district's marketing materials. The board acknowledged the comment and said it would make the report available to board members and the public. No formal board action or motion on the Will Springs property was recorded in the meeting minutes.
