The Workforce Center of Will County in Joliet, Illinois will be closing its current west side location on Monday, February 23 to relocate to a new office on the east side of the city. The center will reopen at the new 1300 Copperfield Ave. address on March 2, after systems and equipment are moved.

Why it matters

During the move, in-person services will not be available, and staff may be limited while systems and equipment are relocated to the new office on the east side of the city, near Routes 6, 30, and 171, and interstates 80 and 55.

• Monday, February 23 is the last day the Workforce Center will operate out of its current west side location.
