Development News from the latest meeting
Village of Romeoville - Village Board Meeting July 15, 2026
Published: Jul 15, 2026
Surplus Funds Declared from Dissolved Marquette Tax Increment Finance District
Ordinance 262075 was presented to declare surplus funds in the Marquette Tax Increment Finance District. The Marquette TIF district was dissolved in October 2025 after experiencing significant growth, with its assessed value rising from $6.9 million to $45.7 million. In fiscal year 2026, the village received its final increment revenue totaling $3,419,821. An intergovernmental agreement with Valley View School District mandates that 30% of increment revenue be distributed as surplus. The ordinance declares a 30% surplus from the 2024 tax levy, amounting to $1,025,946.44. These surplus funds will be distributed to all taxing bodies based on the 2024 levy property tax rate, with the village sending the funds to Will County for distribution. [cite: 269-281]
New 1 Million Gallon Water Tower Approved for Marquette Business Park
Resolution 264278 accepts a proposal from CBI Services LLC for the construction of a new 1 million gallon water tower in the Marquette Business Park. This project is essential for proper water storage, fire protection, and capacity, especially with the upcoming transition to Lake Michigan water. The existing water tower is 13 feet shorter than needed for adequate fire protection in some areas. The new tower will address capacity and height requirements. CBI Services was selected with a bid of $7.5 million, one of two bidders. The project is slightly over the engineering estimate and includes a project labor agreement with union labor. Chicago Bridge and Iron (CBI) has a history of constructing towers in the village. The estimated build time is 18 to 24 months. An agreement was made with Hurley Heat for the property needed for the tower, with the village transferring ownership of the current booster station and two tanks back to Hurley Heat upon completion.

Playground Equipment Purchase Approved for West Glen Park
Resolution 264288 authorizes the purchase of playground equipment from BCI Burke Company for West Glen Park. Burke was selected for its durable materials and functional play components. Similar equipment at Discovery and Conservation Park has performed well under high usage. The purchase is part of the overall development of the West Glen Park Playground. A community meeting was held on June 4th for feedback. The project is funded partly by a $250,000 DCO grant secured through Senator Capell's office and a $100,000 contribution from the Lockport Taunton Park District. Purchasing equipment separately allows locking in current pricing. [cite: 482-498]
Concept Plan Approved for Retail Development at Grand Boulevard and Weber Road
Core Development presented a concept plan for a retail development at the southeast corner of Grand Boulevard and Weber Road, on the former PNC Bank site. The plan involves demolishing the existing bank to build two new commercial buildings: a 1,200 sq ft Dutch Bros Coffee with a double drive-through and walk-up window, and a 2,200 sq ft building for a food user with a drive-through. The development will have one access point from the east connector road and maintain existing cross-access points to the south. A total of 46 shared parking spaces are planned, exceeding requirements. Building elevations will feature masonry construction. The Development Review Committee and Planning and Zoning Commission have reviewed the plans and provided comments. The developer expects to present final development plans, including landscaping and signage details, for final approval. [cite: 120-139]
Sidewalk Project Approved to Connect Joliet Junior College to Village Hall
Resolution 264289 accepts a proposal from Builders Concrete Services LLC for sidewalk improvements related to Joliet Junior College (JJC). This project involves constructing an eight-foot-wide sidewalk on the south side of JJC's property, connecting to the village hall property. This sidewalk is crucial for providing safe access for JJC students and event attendees utilizing village hall parking. The crossing will be completed by the time of the FEST event. The goal is to have all sidewalk work completed by the end of the season, with a stop sign to be installed at the crossing regardless of full completion. Builders Concrete Services has aligned its schedule with the village's concrete work at the rec center, demonstrating a good partnership. This effort enhances pedestrian safety and utility of shared parking resources. [cite: 574-610]
