The Village of New Lenox began condemnation proceedings to acquire the land needed to extend Nelson Road.

The village filed against the owners of the land—Pentagon Properties and PDV—as well as BP Pipelines and Enterprise TE Products Pipeline.

"The village has attempted to negotiate with each owner of record in good faith to reach a bona fide agreement as to fair and just compensation to be paid for the property rights sought to be condemned in this action," according to a complaint filed in Will County court.
