JOLIET- Will County residents will have the opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns about truck routing at a virtual public workshop on August 13th. The workshop is being held to gather input from residents about combining a truck routing study with a transportation and community land use strategy, the goal being a balance between the two.

County Board Speaker Mimi Cowan said the workshop would lead to a comprehensive plan that melds the economic benefits of transportation with quality of life issues for Will County.
​
"As an historian, I’m cognizant that, for almost 200 years, Will County has been central to the movement of goods throughout our greater region and the nation, " Speaker Cowan said. "While I am keen to see that centrality continue, one of my goals is to promote collaborative solutions that support economic development and maintain a high quality of life for all our residents. Moving Will County provides us with an excellent opportunity to do just that."
