DHL wants to rezone about 136.5 acres from residential and neighborhood commercial to light industrial and build two massive warehouses (about 1.2 million and 727,000 square feet). The commission recommended approval of the rezone, special use, site plan and preliminary plat, all heading to the Village Board.

DHL Plainfield Logistics Center Phase Two Development
DHL is proposing a massive two-building industrial warehouse development totaling two million square feet at Ridge Road and 143rd Street. Trustees focused heavily on truck access, lighting glare, and landscape buffering to protect nearby residents.
Wheeler/Panattoni Industrial Development at Route 126 and Steiner Road
Residents are worried the steady stream of warehouse approvals along 143rd Street and Ridge Road is piling up truck traffic, idling trucks, and safety risks. The commission heard that trucks will mostly route to I-55 and I-80, and that new signals and the 143rd Street extension should add capacity — but neighbors remain skeptical as current warehouses aren't even fully leased.
