This editorial is a consensus opinion of the Daily Herald Editorial Board. Stores and restaurants were noticeably busy on Saturday afternoon along Gary Avenue and Army Trail Road in Bloomingdale.
Bloomingdale leaders are keenly aware of what has happened to the once-vibrant shopping center at the southeast corner of Gary Avenue and Schick Road. The village has spent more than $5.6 million to purchase former department store buildings and open space near Stratford Square. Now it's trying to use the power of eminent domain to take over the interior mall itself. Bloomingdale has filed a condemnation lawsuit aimed at acquiring the property. Coladipietro is calling it an"act of last resort."
But what's happening with Stratford Square is not the same as removing an established business or a historic building to make way for a road or a development. Namdar is fighting the eminent domain lawsuit in DuPage County Court. Unfortunately, the company and the village are on opposing sides.
