The campground alleges that the feud started after it failed to adhere to COVID-19 restrictions in 2020.
A years-long feud between the City of Des Plaines, Illionis, and the Chicago District Campground escalated last Tuesday, when the campground filed a counterclaim accusing the city of trying to sabotage the church campground by directing floodwaters toward it.
The counterclaim is a rebuttal to the city's lawsuit insisting that the campground needed to demolish up to 50 wooden structures on its property as they posed a safety hazard due to their age.after completing a flood prevention project in 2008.
The city and campground formerly worked together to improve the buildings, many of which were more than 100 years old, while attempting to protect other structures from future flooding. However, the lawyers representing the church said that the partnership faltered after the revival event. Attendees of the event didn't wear masks or adhere to social distancing rulesThe worst of the floods occurred in 2013, 2017 and 2020—all after Levee 50 had been finished.
"The City crafted a plan to retaliate against the Campground with the goal of shutting it down permanently through the façade of an enforcement action based on flood damage to the Campground's structures—damage that the City itself had caused," the counterclaim said.
