Bolingbrook Village Board Approves New Dock For Town Center Pond Project

BOLINGBROOK, IL — At its meeting on Tuesday, the Bolingbrook Village Board approved the addition of a dock to the Town Center pond project.

The change order to the approved proposal from Elevations Landscaping, LLC, will increase the project by $100,000. The total cost of the project is now $1.1 million, according to Board documents.

Mayor Mary Alexander-Basta said the Town Center pond is over 25 years old, and is currently undergoing replacement.

Alexander-Basta said that by the time the first summer concert takes place on June 5, that "it's going to be beautiful."

The addition of the dock will increase the attractiveness of the pond, and allow people to fish deeper parts of the pond.

Adding a focal point on the far corner of the pond will also attract people around the pond and better utilize the entire area during events, Alexander-Basta added.

"We are trying to get this done as quickly as possible," she said.

The grounds behind the Town Center have been closed since the pond restoration work started in February.
