DuPage County Board Hearing about Mega Gas Station next to Park District

We need your help to keep Glen Ellyn a healthy place to grow.  The County Board will vote on whether to allow the building of the Biggest gas station in all of DuPage County on the corner of 53 and Butterfield Road.  This is less than 1/4 mile from the High School, Hidden Lake Forest Preserve, the Arboretum, and next to TWO pre-schools and the Butterfield Park District and the Lombard Golf Course.  We already have two gas stations at that intersection, one of which is already struggling.  There are three other gas stations within a mile of the proposed gas station not located on the intersection.

Please help us ask the County Board to vote "NO" on this proposal.
