Amended Complaint Against The Parker Project

Following the approval of amended plans for a major resort project in Galena, the woman suing the city and project developers has filed an amended complaint asking for an injunction that would stop the project. Galena resident Wendy Clark filed an initial complaint in May in Jo Daviess County Circuit Court against the City of Galena, as well as the development groups regarding the Parker resort project, which is set to be built on property that includes Galena Marine Hospital. The amended complaint was filed last month. Parker project developers plan to construct over 100 cottages, a restaurant and other amenities, as well as restore the Galena Marine Hospital. Last fall, Galena City Council members approved changes to the project that added an additional 18 acres to the original 80-acre site, as well as relocated the resort entrance. The project has been met with strong opposition from residents who would be neighbors with the planned development.
