GENEVA – West Chicago and Geneva officials have been working for the past year to update their boundary agreement.

Aldermen acting as the Committee of the Whole voted to recommend approval of an agreement that will give Geneva a development advantage of 60 acres available for annexation. The City Council will take final action. West Chicago officials are taking similar actions, officials said.

The city’s comprehensive plan calls for the acreage at Geneva’s far southeast corporate limits to be zoned light industrial, officials said. Previously, the land would have been shared by the two cities in two counties, something officials said developers were not interested in.
