Some favor a plan to allow Ketone Partners to mine and develop a parcel at U.S. 6 and Bluff Road. Others are against the project. Where do you fall on this issue?
A proposal to allow Ketone Partners to resume mining on a large parcel of land at U.S. 6 and Bluff Road in Channhon had a number of local residents raising their voices on Patch. Ketone, a Chicago-based real estate, consulting and development firm, wants to mine the property for 10-15 years, then turn the land into a luxury residential neighborhood surrounded on three-sides by a 90- to 100-acre lake.

Did you see the story we ran on the baby goats that were abandoned in a vacant construction site last week? It was a little touch and go for the 1-week-old Pepper, who was resisting bottle-feeding, but it looks like things might work out. Click here to read the original story.

Ketone Partners project could result in short-term heartache for some, long-term windfall for the Village of Channahon.
A proposal to resume mining operations on a large piece of property at U.S. 6 and Bluff Road in Channahon has some residents calling for the Village Board to step in before their way of life is altered by dust, noise and truck traffic. “Can’t something be done to re-zone this property into something that can be more useful to a growing village?” questioned Nikki Larson in an email correspondence with Village Trustee Missey Schumacher. Larson, a physical education teacher and the girls golf coach at Plainfield South High School, lives in the last house on a dead-end street that likely will be affected directly if Ketone Partners is allowed to move forward with mining operations and a plan to develop the parcel into a luxury residential …
