The crossroads of I-355, Route 6, and Cedar Road was intended as the future site of two major development projects; Cedar Crossings and Spring Creek Outlets.  Cedar Crossings would have been constructed at southwest corner of Cedar Road and Route 6, adjacent to Silver Cross Hospital.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cedarcrossings.com/|title=cedarcrossings.com}}</ref>   Cedar Crossings proposed a 970,000-square-foot retail center to be developed by the Zaremba Group.  Sadly, development of Cedar Crossings delayed due to economic reasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newlenox.patch.com/articles/cedar-crossings-mall-development-could-see-first-action|title=newlenox.patch.com|date=October 12, 2011}}</ref> Also proposed was Spring Creek Outlets. Spring Creek Outlets would have been a 65 acer Outlet Mall with additions including senior housing, hotels, restaurants, medical offices, and more. This would have extended Route 6, but was delayed and cut also due to economic reasons.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Land Planning {{!}} Civil Engineering design {{!}} C.M.

However, in 2023, New Lenox announced a 100-acre sports complex coming in 2025 in the original proposed Cedar Crossing. This will include eight full-size baseball fields, five soccer fields, two multi-sport fields, open swimming pools, and a 50,000-square-foot fieldhouse. This will cost 8.25 million for 103 acres with 50-60 million costing for the sport complex all together. There will also be ten acres sold for hotel and restaurant use across the hospital and the sport complex.<ref>{{Cite web |last=DeSantis |first=Monica |date=March 27, 2023 |title=Huge Sports Complex Coming To New Lenox |url=https://www.wjol.com/huge-sports-complex-coming-to-new-lenox/ |access-date=April 1, 2024 |website=1340 WJOL |language=en-US}}</ref>
