• Nearly 600 residents turn out to oppose razing Northbrook's Meadow Plaza for 6-story condos (chicagotribune.com) — Hundreds of Northbrook residents packed a special Plan Commission hearing to oppose Pulte Homes' proposal to replace Meadow Plaza with three six-story condo buildings and sharply reduced retail space. Locals argued the project's height, loss of shops, and downtown impact are too extreme, while commissioners pressed developers on how the plan fits Northbrook's future before continuing talks at an upcoming meeting.
