Bloomingdale's plan commission will continue a public hearing that began Tuesday about whether to recommend revoking the license of the embattled Pet Rescue animal shelter to the village board.
The commission's next meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 16 at Bloomingdale village hall, 201 S. Bloomingdale Road.
Tuesday's testimony and public input lasted about four hours, with residents and officials weighing in.
On Tuesday, a DuPage County judge ordered Pet Rescue operators to begin transferring the nearly 200 animals being housed there immediately to other Illinois shelters.
