Belmont Bible Church in Downers Grove can move ahead with its plan to construct a new building.
The Downers Grove Village Council on Tuesday unanimously agreed to annex nearly 2 acres at the southwest corner of Belmont Road and Inverness Avenue so the church can expand. The council also rezoned the property and gave Belmont Bible permission to operate a combined church and private school.
