Legal action, fundraiser on the horizon following Gotion battery plant vote – Kankakee Times

Shouts of "traitors!" and murmurs from the Manteno community echoed through the room after the Manteno Planning Commission voted unanimously Nov. 27 to change the zoning for the proposed Gotion lithium ion car battery plant facility site from light industrial to heavy industrial. Legal action appears to be the next step for Concerned Citizens for Manteno, as they argue that the approval violates the village codes prohibiting heavy industrial development.
