Campton Hills denies Kiva, 4-2

CAMPTON HILLS – Residents sighed in relief and erupted into celebratory cheers and applause Tuesday when the Campton Hills Village Board denied annexation for an alcohol and substance abuse facility proposed for the former Glenwood School.

Each of the six trustees spoke before the vote, some at great length. They said they took Kiva Recovery’s request seriously and went back and forth on their decision.

“I flipped more times than former governors in their graves,” trustee Jim Kopec said.
