New Lenox's Cedar Crossings Acquires Fresh Development

Joliet Oncology Hematology Associates (JOHA) representatives are working with the Village of New Lenox to build in the Cedar Crossings development along Route 6 just east of Silver Cross Hospital.

New Lenox Economic Development Director Nancy Hoehn said Wednesday that JOHA is planning to build a facility immediately east of Silver Cross Hospital. They have already submitted plans.

At the moment, they have not made a formal application, but that's expected soon, added Robin Ellis, director of community development. "I'm not sure of the size or the square footage," she said, but a full set of plans are anticipated to be coming through the front door.  

"We've been talking to them awhile."

Meanwhile, the New Lenox Town Center along Route 30 is also drawing attention from business development interest. Ellis said, "I think we will see some things later this year. There's been interest in building around Walmart, 501 E. Lincoln Highway.

Hoehn said "a number of projects have come forward. This Lincoln-Way market is getting renewed interest from retailers. That's very encouraging," she said.

Whether the building is taking place in New Lenox, Mokena or Frankfort, it's good for the L-W communities.
