A proposed truck terminal on vacant land at West Monee-Manhattan Road in Monee Township was stopped in its tracks Wednesday after the Will County Board delivered a split decision on the project.

While the board voted 11-9 to approve a map amendment that rezoned the property from agricultural and residential (A-1/R-2) to industrial (I-2), it immediately followed with a vote to deny the crucial special use permit needed to operate a truck terminal on the site. The motion for the special use permit failed, with 11 members voting no.

The votes, taken during the board’s monthly meeting, effectively kill the project as proposed by the owner, Chicago Land Trust Company. Without the special use permit, a truck terminal cannot be developed on the property, despite the newly granted industrial zoning.

The project had received divided recommendations from the county’s advisory bodies. The Will County Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) had recommended approval of the rezoning, while the board’s own Land Use & Development Committee had voted 5-1 to recommend approval for both the rezoning and the special use permit. The full board’s rejection of the permit
