Court Rules In Favor Of O'Hare To Take Cemetery For Expansion

摘要

The O'Hare Modernization Program (OMP) is one step closer to acquiring St. Johannes Cemetery as part of the ongoing expansion at the airport. The U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals denied a motion by St. John's Church to stop OMP from receiving legal title to the cemetery. The motion sought to keep the injunction in place while a petition for review was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result, the injunction imposed more than two years ago by the Seventh Circuit has been lifted.
