New truck stop coming to Rochelle

  (Project Manager Chad Bruner)

In a 6-0 vote tonight, city officials in Rochelle approved the annexation and zoning proposals along with variances for off street parking and the sign ordinance for Loves Travel Stops and Country Store Incorporated.

Absent from the meeting was councilman Don Burke.

The truck stop will be located on 17 acres of land at the intersection of Illinois 251 and Steward Road, south of I-88.

Project Manager Chad Burner.....(Time: (;21), out: are).

Loves Travel Stop and Country Store will have a convenient store along with a Hardee's restaurant, a fuel area, and tire shop. It will be about a quarter of the size of the Petro Travel Plaza in Rochelle and have around 100 parking spaces.

There will be between 60 to 80 jobs for the entire facility. Sales tax revenue could be around a half million dollars a year for the city.

There were no objections to the project during a public hearing this evening.

Construction is scheduled to begin this spring.
