The Planning Commission approved the plan following a public hearing at village hall, and the Village Board of Trustees is expected to give the final green light August 1 during the next regular board meeting, according to the report.

BJC HealthCare and Memorial Hospital East finalized a partnership in January.

The two organizations filed a certificate of need application with the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board to build their first medical office building.

The new structure will be three-stories and 70,622 square feet, according to the report. If approved, construction will begin later this year with completion slated for the end of 2017.
