The Will County Board on Thursday, December 18, 2025, granted a special use permit for light equipment sales and rentals, paving the way for a used car dealership in New Lenox Township.
The property, located at 202 Ford Drive within the Cedar Industrial Park, is zoned I-1 (Limited Industrial). The applicant, Chicago Land Trust #2569, requested the permit to allow a tenant, My Auto Concepts, to sell used cars on the site. The business is expected to operate Monday through Friday with a low volume of daily customers.
The approval includes seven specific conditions designed to improve the property’s appearance and function. The applicant is required to repair, repave, and re-strip the parking lot within six months. Additionally, the outdoor storage area must be paved with concrete or asphalt and screened from view by a solid, eight-foot-tall fence.
According to county documents, any items stored on-site that are not used in conjunction with the business must be removed within six months.
The Village of New Lenox reviewed the proposal earlier in November and voted not to object to the county special use permit, subject to the petitioner’s agreement to similar conditions regarding paving and screening.
