DuPage County in 60 seconds

SSA moves forward:

The DuPage County Board gave Glen Ellyn the go-ahead this week to set up a special service area for unincorporated residents who use village fire services. The village is looking to get money from those residents who had been using the fire and ambulances services for free. The next step will be to schedule public hearings and send notices to those affected. More information on the SSA is available at glenellyn.org.
