Campton Hills postpones June 26 public hearing on proposed 900-unit development, rescheduling it for July
The village of Campton Hills is postponing a public hearing it had set for Thursday for residents to share their thoughts on the village's possible annexation of a plot of land in what is currently rural La Fox for a 900-unit residential development, according to Campton Hills Village Administrator Mark Rooney.
Campton Hills will still be holding a village board meeting on June 26, but it will not include the public hearing portion on the development project, Rooney said on Tuesday. The current meeting agenda for Thursday also reflects the postponement.
The hearing is being tentatively rescheduled for July 15, Rooney said.
The development is the latest project proposed for the area. Previous developments have generated pushback from local open space organizations, according to past reporting. But this one — proposed by the Geneva-based Shodeen Group — has the support of local groups like the La Fox Civic Association and the Campton Township Open Space Foundation.
According to Shodeen, the process for the proposed development began with meetings with local organizations, leading to a less-dense housing plan. The development would include 900 residential units, and more than 400 acres of open space, according to past reporting. The highest density of housing would be near the La Fox train station, which sits within the 962 acres the development would sit on. Shodeen doesn't plan for commercial development to be a part of the proposal.
In the meantime, Rooney said the village is continuing to negotiate the terms of the proposed annexation agreement with Geneva School District 304, which would service the area if it's annexed into the village and developed.
Following the public hearing — and barring any major challenges to the project — Campton Hills' village board can vote on whether or not to approve the agreement, according to past reporting. From there, Shodeen would seek a Planned Unit Development, or PUD, zoning designation from the village to move forward with the project.

Supreme Court will hear GOP challenge to campaign spending limit
Republicans say that because of the limits, big donors have turned to `super PACs' that act as `shadow parties.' Elon Musk contributed $238.5 million to a super PAC that helped elect President Trump. WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court will take up the regulation of money in politics in a case that could lead to the overturning of a 2001 decision limiting how much political parties can spend on advertising and other messaging in coordination with a federal candidate. The court on June 30 agreed to hear a challenge from Republicans to a federal regulation the Trump administration says it can't defend. The justices are likely to hear arguments in the fall and hand down a decision next year. The GOP argues the law and the facts have changed since the Supreme Court last considered the issue. As a result, they said, political parties have been weakened and leading donors have turned to 'super PACs' that act as 'shadow parties,' hurting the political system. Elon Musk contributed $238.5 million to one of the super PACs that helped elect President Donald Trump. The case was initiated by Vice President JD Vance when he was a senator, along with former Rep. Steve Chabot, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee. The challenge is part of longstanding debate over how to balance free speech rights with preventing corruption. The Supreme Court previously said restrictions on how much the parties can spend in direct coordination with a candidate are allowed to prevent donors from evading limits on how much they can contribute to candidates. But Republicans argue other Supreme Court decisions since then have narrowed the reasons Congress can restrict campaign spending and have led to virtually unlimited spending by super PACs. In addition, Congress has amended the campaign finance laws to allow more coordinated spending in some areas, such as presidential nominating conventions. The Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the challenge, saying their hands were tied by the high court's 2001 decision. 'Even when the Supreme Court embraces a new line of reasoning in a given area and even when that reasoning allegedly undercuts the foundation of a decision,' Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton wrote for the appeals court, 'it remains the Court's job, not ours, to overrule it.'
