GLEN CARBON – The future Meijer location in Glen Carbon’s Orchard Town Center will have another year to be built after village trustees approved a third extension of the grocery store’s site plan. Village Board members unanimously approved a resolution granting a one-year extension for the Meijer site plan, extending the plan to October of 2026. Erika Heil, director of Community Development, explained at Tuesday’s meeting that site plans are only “good for one year” in Glen Carbon, meaning the previous plans were set to expire in October of 2025. This comes after the board previously voted in 2023 to extend the store’s site plan to 2024, then voted in 2024 to extend the site plan again into 2025.
