Retirees Want Their Homes. This City Wants a Truck Stop.
Jacquenette Cottrell is scared, drained, and damn near bankrupt. For six years, she helped bankroll a lawsuit to stop construction of a Love’s Travel Stop in the middle of her neighborhood in Joliet, the third-largest city in Illinois. The area in question isn’t in the city limits, but an unincorporated area on the east side at the intersection of Briggs Street and Interstate 80, which is near New Lenox Road, where Cottrell’s childhood home is.
