Downtown a Reality
JULY 26, 2012
Romeoville downtown sees redevelopment after nearly a decade of planning By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
After nearly a decade of planning, the redevelopment of a Romeoville downtown with grocery store and a community center is set to become a reality. “Today is a very exciting day for Romeoville for we are in a position to announce good things for our downtown,” said Village Manager Steve Gulden. “…Though there hasn’t been a lot being done physically there has been a lot done behind the scenes, putting infrastructure in place and setting up the tools we can now utilize to bring in a developer and it took a lot of
blood, sweat, and tears to get us here.” After almost three years of seeking a master developer for the downtown area, the village officially named Harbour Contractors, Inc. as its master developer with an exclusive developer’s agreement to redevelop the site under a 120day contract to carve out the details. “For all those residents who have been asking—ladies and gentlemen—it’s finally coming,” said Trustee Brian Clancy.
