MoreGLENVIEW, IL — After months of debates and meetings with village officials here, Mr. Clean executives withdrew its carwash plans, but did not give a reason why, a GlenviewPatch story said.
The April 13 story quoted plan commission Chairman Steven Bucklin who said, “I personally don't know the reasons why,” and added he was disappointed in the decision. However, he said the carwash may not have been the right fit for the location. “So I’m disappointed that a business wanted to locate here and chose not to for whatever reason, but I believe the process that went forward is the right process because it brought out the issues and some of the concerns of the neighbors and that’s what this whole process is all about."
The carwash plans had been discussed and debated for months, mostly because of concerns having to do with runoff pollution and traffic. Residents and other business owners attended a public hearing last February to speak out against the carwash. PC&D reported on that public hearing meeting, and that story can be found here.
