City council voted against grave matter of moving dead for a supermarket on 2800 block of Forbes Street.
By: Roman Anisimov
Romeoville-Developer Carl Eskrine is pushing for the relocation of the graves to Peaceful Rest Cemetery, which is a mile from the current location. Eskrine believes that rezoning and building a supermarket in place of the cemetery is in the best interest of the city and the neighborhood due to no supermarket being within a mile and a half range. Traffic pattern studies were shown to support his mission.
Audience members at the meeting spent an hour commenting on the rezoning. About 20 people shared their thoughts, only two were in support of the rezoning.
