Route 30 Corridor Plan: What's Your Vision for New Lenox?

The Village of New Lenox is hosting a Route 30 Corridor Plan open house and presentation from 5:30-7:30 p.m. April 29 at Village Hall.

A PowerPoint presentation is planned to share input received thus far concerning Route 30 between Interstate 80 and the viaduct east of Prairie Avenue.

A $60,000 grant from Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning to the Village of New Lenox to plan the overall look of the Route 30 Corridor began with in September 2012 with a community workshop to air ideas and goals.

Community Development Director Robin Ellis is looking to incorporate land use, commercial development, transportation and aesthetics. Already stakeholders and residents have shared their perspective. In total 25 residents have submitted a vision on the village's website.
