MARENGO – Some Riley Township officials and residents are concerned Marengo leaders are moving too hastily with their long-term development efforts as the city prepares to extend its limits to Interstate 90 next month.

Riley Township Supervisor Karen Schnable said the city first directly revealed to the township its comprehensive plan 2½ weeks before the City Council endorsed it last week.

The plan calls for industrial, commercial and residential development to the south and west of Marengo. City officials have been developing the plan while simultaneously talking with seven property owners within Riley Township about being annexed into city limits.
