Henry County Residents:
Help Save our Park!
We, the undersigned residents of Henry County, Illinois, call on the Members of the Henry County Board to recognize, that the redevelopment of College Square Park into anything other than a public park and preserved green space is unacceptable to us, as the residents and voters of Henry County.
We encourage the Members of the Henry County Board to recognize the historical and cultural importance of College Square Park in Cambridge, and to underline that recognition by rescinding the proposed plan of development that would turn a portion of College Square Park into a Henry County Employee Parking Lot.
Signed by the residents of Henry County, IL
The volume of support has forced this issue onto the agenda for the next County Board meeting. I have requested a formal slot to present our petition to the board members. We are currently drafting the legal arguments to challenge the proposed zoning variance.

This is ridiculous. We dont need more pavement in cambridge. Keep our green space for the families and kids. Leave the park alone!

Are you kidding me? A parking lot?? Build it somewhere else. People actually use that park.
