Maybe you will go and watch as MCC tries to get the Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission to allow it to build on 50% of the property it owns, plus the 57 acres it wants to buy.
Maybe we shall be treated to another flight into fantasy from Lowe about how he and his board majority can find a more suitable location to expand somewhere else in McHenry County.
You know, the
if you don’t play by my rules”
pitch.
I’ve given some thought to Lowe’s continuing threat to relocate the junior college and I cannot think of another site within walking distance of a current or potential train station on the main Metra line that is even vacant besides the one between the college campus and Ridgefield Road.
Of course, if he thinks college students have lots of money and will always find it cheapest and most convenient to drive to class, maybe my reasoning is irrelevant.
