County approves 70.75-acre annexation petition; village now waits certification and 60-day period

Council members reported that county commissioners voted to approve an annexation petition for a 70.75-acre parcel linked to local development activity. The council was told the action now moves to a certification step: the village must receive certified copies of the county action, after which a 60-day statutory waiting period will apply. A council member who attended the county commissioners meeting described the approval and said the 60-day countdown begins when the village receives certified copies; the council estimated that date would fall near Nov. 22 if the certified paperwork arrived immediately. No final local zoning or development approvals were reported at the meeting; the annexation approval was described as a county action that allows the village to continue with its subsequent local processes. Council members indicated the annexation advances ongoing development and that they will monitor receipt of certified copies and the arrival of the 60-day window before taking additional local steps.
