New Lenox Village Board to likely vote on Lenny’s Gas N Wash Monday

The New Lenox Village Board will likely approve an ordinance tonight annexing property and rezoning of the property with the proposed Lenny’s Gas N Wash that would replace the Walona Motel in New Lenox.

The proposal has received some backlash from residents who live near the location off Walona Avenue and ones that live in the cul-de-sac behind the property. Some of the concerns had been addressed by the petitioner.

The agenda item is up for a second read, but residents will still be given a chance to speak before the board would votes.

Lenny’s Gas N Wash would have a full service car wash and convenience store. It would also have diesel pumps, but part of what the petitioner did to try and ease the traffic concern is forcing diesel vehicles to turn right on Route 30.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at New Lenox Village Hall.
