Midwest Generation won't sell its land

April 10, 2008

Midwest Generation has decided not to sell a 37-acre portion of the property Indian Prairie School District has selected as the site of Metea Valley High School.

Midwest Generation spokesman Charley Parnell confirmed Wednesday afternoon that the company is no longer interested in selling the land.

“I think, as you’re well aware, that this is an issue where there doesn’t seem to be consensus on what the plans are going to be going forward,” Parnell said. “

So rather than have Midwest Generation as the reason either to oppose or support the project, we think this will give all of the parties an opportunity, a chance to sit back and try to find consensus on what is or is not appropriate for the new school.”

Funny how District 204 needs the spokes person for MidWest Gen to tell them this fact..

I was thinking the same thing! The tone doesn't jive with Dr. D's email from yesterday......

You're right! Where's Dr.D's letter to the community?

I also find it funny that no one at the District office could confirm the rumor? Huh? It's not like they just found out today from all of us. IMO, Midwest Gen's expected action was the prelude to Dr.D's email yesterday.

No it does not. Maybe this guy works on contract basis. We can hire him to write the next district wide note.
