The property is not in Bolingbrook’s jurisdiction. The proposal for rezoning the property from agricultural to industrial will be heard at a Will County public hearing on Oct. 1 at 6:30 p.m., 302 N. Chicago St., in Joliet.
The owners of the nearby quarry have submitted an application to the county to rezone a portion of the property. The owners are also seeking special use permits to expand the current quarry operations to the property to the south.

“If approved, this application could severely impact the welfare, safety and the quality of life in the surrounding Village,” Mayor Mary Alexander-Basta said.
Alexander-Basta said the property is also very close to District 202’s Liberty Elementary School.

“They want to do additional quarrying, truck traffic, dust…the impact to our residents is not something that we think that we can agree with. It’s just not the right place,” Alexander-Basta said.
Because of the resolution from Bolingbrook, the County Board will need a 3/4 super-majority instead of a simple majority vote.
