Rockford’s Auburn and Main car wash proposal withdrawn after community opposition

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — A proposal to build a car wash next to the Auburn Street roundabout in Rockford has been withdrawn.

The city’s Zoning Board of Appeals was scheduled to discuss the proposal Tuesday night, which involved developing an empty lot near the busy intersection.

The withdrawal was announced by ‘Save Our North End,’ a group formed by local residents and businesses opposed to the plan, on social media.

The group thanked its supporters and community members for their efforts in opposing the car wash proposal.

Neither the property owner nor city officials have commented on the withdrawal of the proposal.
