🚨 Community Awareness Notice - Read and be sure to come to the 6:30pm Bloomingdale Township Meeting tonight at 123 N. Rosedale Ave. Bloomingdale (Tuesday, February 17, 2026)

Please read this independent perspective "A Win For Due Process and Local Control" about VB BTS II LLC with Medinah Spring Valley Lake, Inc (MSVL) to build a cell tower that lacks direct access to a public road vs Bloomingdale Township.
Below is the Conclusion: But be sure to read the whole article too.

Conclusion: A Case Study in the Strength of New Leadership-
VB BTS II is not just about real estate boundaries or easements, it’s about what happens when new township officials are called to make tough decisions that affect their communities for years to come. These officials honored the past by defending the township’s legal rights, while looking ahead by insisting on full procedural integrity. Their refusal to rubber-stamp a permit without a lawful foundation protected both the public trust and the township’s long-term autonomy.

As newly elected township officials across Illinois settle into their roles, this case offers inspiration: you don’t have to be a long-serving veteran to make a meaningful impact. With good counsel, a steady hand, and an eye on the statutes, new leadership can steer complex situations to principled outcomes, just like Bloomingdale Township did here.

Update and Action Needed: Next Town Board Meeting: November 18, 2025 at 6:30pm at Bloomingdale Township. We need as many community members as we can get. We need to keep all community members informed and find out if Medinah Spring Valley Lake's President joins Vertical Bridge by signing the application to the township for a road entrance permit to build the 5G Cell Phone Tower on Medinah Spring Valley Lake. Without MSVL's Blessing Verticle Bridge does not have a chance to gain access to the land that is needed to build the tower. Feel free to reach out to the Board Members of Medinah Spring Valley Lake Corp. Tell them how you feel!

"We went to court this morning and they only said the case is continued another month because Bloomingdale Township just received the application for the proposed 5G Cell Phone Tower on Medinah Spring Valley Lake in Medinah."

Subject: Urgent Update: 5G Tower Back on the Table—Your Voice Matters
Bloomingdale Township neighbors,
Many of us believed the 5G tower issue was settled after taxpayers made their voices heard. Unfortunately, big business is trying again.
Court Update:
Today, Vertical Bridge filed a new road-access application.
The court continued the case until October 21, giving Bloomingdale Township 30 days to respond.
This means the proposal is not a done deal—and our participation is critical.

Stay informed and be ready to speak up.
