DECATUR, Ill. (WCIA) — Four months after St. Teresa High School filed an injunction to block Heritage Behavioral Health Center from relocating next to the school, a Macon County judge has ruled in favor of the health center.

Monday’s ruling means that St. Teresa’s injunction was dismissed. St. Teresa, located at 2700 N Water Street in Decatur, aimed to block Heritage from moving in next door to their recently acquired former North Gate mall space, located at 2800 N Water Street.

Heritage filed a motion to dismiss the injunction in late February.

To receive a permanent injunction, St. Teresa had to establish that they were in need of protection, that they would suffer irreparable harm if relief were not granted, and that they had no other solution.

The court found the allegations that St. Teresa was in need of protection from Heritage to be “vague, conclusory, speculative, and without factual support.” And the court found the idea that Heritage moving in would reduce donations and tuition revenues to be “conclusory and speculative statements.”

Now, St. Teresa has 28 days to file an amended complaint. Heritage will also have 28 days to file a response pleading.

WCIA reached out to both Heritage and St. Teresa for comment, but did not immediately receive a response back.
