Land Use—Once a Municipal Annexation Process Has Commenced by Filing of a Petition for Annexation, the Affected Municipalities Shall Have Exclusive Jurisdiction Over Any Annexation of the Subject Territory Until the Annexation Process Is Finally Concluded

Separately, a year later, a group of Monroe residents filed petitions for the annexation of 336 acres from Monroe to the Town of Blooming Grove and for the simultaneous annexation of the same 336 acres from Monroe to the Village of South Blooming Grove.
