Board of Education of Richland School District No. 88A v. City of Crest Hill

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that the public‑utility‑right‑of‑way exception to contiguity in the annexation provisions of the Municipal Code does not apply to the contiguity requirement of the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Act, so the Weber Road Corridor TIF District was not contiguous and the circuit court’s summary‑judgment grant to Crest Hill was reversed.
