VICTORY!

With a vote of 5-1 (against), the trustees have made it clear that Wal-Mart will not be built on the northeast corner of Oak St. and Orchard Rd. in North Aurora! Several trustees stated that it is not the right location for Wal-Mart. The vote took place close to midnight on May 7, 2007.

Thank you to the trustees for listening to the residents concerns and pleas. Now we need to work on bringing the type of development North Aurora residents would like to see on that corner.

Thank you to everyone for supporting North Aurora Together! It really does take the whole community coming together to make a difference.

The votes were as follows:

Berman - NO
Herlihy - NO
Gaffino - NO
Herwig - NO
Shoemaker - NO
Mitchell - YES

Village Meeting Monday, May 7 @ 7:00PM

On Monday, May 7, North Aurora could change forever! Monday is the continuation of the public hearing on the proposed 24-Hour Super Wal-Mart. Last Friday afternoon, the village posted a special village board meeting on the agenda after the committee of the whole meeting so that the trustees can take a vote on the proposal.

Please come out and show your support!

Another Successfull Rally!

About 30 people came out to our rally on Saturday, May 5 to voice their opposition to the proposed 24-Hour Super Wal-Mart. Cars were stopping to sign our petition (97 signatures to be exact) and we received a few donations. Thanks to everyone for your support!!
