Joliet, IL – The Will County Board has scheduled an urgent Special Meeting for March 5th, 2024, with a critical agenda to halt the progress of the 143rd Street Expansion Road Project as it is presently outlined.
The meeting follows the signing of Resolution 24-27 by the Will County Executive, which initially directed the cessation of the project’s current trajectory.
