Should Homewood Build a Downtown Plaza?

Homewood trustees will gather at village hall on Tuesday night to discuss, among other things, the initial steps in building a downtown plaza. The board will vote whether to give $15,750 to a design company to begin planning the project.

The area between Ridge Road and Chestnut Road, along Martin Avenue is currently being considered for the plaza location.
