Mokena trustees voted Tuesday night to annex land west of Wolf Road and rezone it to permit the construction of a neighborhood medical center.
Alan Zordan, development director, said the office transitional zoning is suitable for the medical center because the property sits between residential and commercial property.
The village Site Plan Review Committee will examine the design for the center.
A smaller medical center run by St. Joseph’s Hospital at another Wolf Road site in the village will close when the larger center opens.
The Joliet-based medical center wants to build the larger neighborhood medical center on 2.7 acres along Wolf Road near LaPorte Road.
