Crete detention center proposal withdrawn

Posted: Updated:

Crete will not be getting a federal detention center after all.

The village board withdrew its proposal to host an immigrations and customs enforcement detention center yesterday.

Village residents had strongly opposed the plan.

Opponents said it would lower property values and pose a potential security threat.

A petition against the center had gained more than 1,500 signatures.
