County Board Speaker VanDuyne Announces Venue Change for
Land Use & Development Committee Review of EarthRise Solar Projects
JOLIET - Will County Board Speaker Joe VanDuyne announces that the venue for the Thursday, April 2 Land Use and Development Committee Meeting is being changed to the Renaissance Center, 214 N. Ottawa St., in downtown Joliet.
The meeting will begin promptly at 11 a.m.
The Land Use and Development Committee will review two proposed solar energy facility projects by Earthrise Energy.
Speaker VanDuyne noted that public interest in the projects prompted the venue change. The Renaissance Center can accommodate a significantly larger number of people than the County Board Room.
“We want to make certain that the meeting room is spacious enough to host the number of residents who may be interested in these two solar projects,” Speaker VanDuyne said.
