JOLIET, IL — A West Jefferson Street development project that won approval from the Joliet City Council more than a year ago is finally taking shape as summer arrives.

In recent days, Gould Brothers has been excavating the 1.1-acre auto dealership parking lot space formerly used by D'Arcy Hyundai. It's across from the vacant Long John Silver restaurant.

Here at 2505 West Jefferson Street, Take 5 Oil Change intends to build a 1,520-square-foot building at the site. Take 5 Oil Change's construction project includes three service bays, a small office and a restroom.
