The City of Crest Hill has voted to demolish its old city hall building and redevelop the property, located at 1610 Plainfield Road, into a three-lot development. One of the lots will be sold to QuikTrip, a gas station and convenience store chain, which plans to build a new location on the site.
Why it matters
