Advocates make compelling case for affordable housing project in Glen Ellyn dh_opinion
This editorial is a consensus opinion of the Daily Herald Editorial Board. The debate over what Glen Ellyn should do with two vacant hotels shows how challenging it is to get affordable housing in the suburbs.
Still, village officials remain undecided on what they want to do with the land. Glen Ellyn trustees agreed in June 2021 to spend $2.85 million to buy the crumbling hotels. The village completed the purchase a year and a half ago. Glen Ellyn already has seen offers from commercial, office and residential developers interested in the more than 2 acres between Roosevelt Road and Taft Avenue. Meanwhile, affordable housing proposals often face not-in-my-back-yard opposition from some residents.
