Village Hall Parking Lot Expansion Approved By Romeoville Board

ROMEOVILLE, IL — The Romeoville Village Board accepted the lowest proposal and entered into a contract for the Village Hall parking lot expansion project at its meeting on Wednesday.

The lowest bidder was Abbey Construction, with a cost of $956,479.87.

Public Works Director Chris Drey said there is a "tight window" for the project due to planned events at Village Hall.

"[The improvements include] extending the parking lot to the south, making some improvements and adding a total of 173 [spots]," Drey said.

"This will accommodate a lot more parking; it gives us better access to the back of the pavilion and will help us separate the pedestrian traffic from vehicle traffic as we have different bands and vendors coming back and forth," he added.

Mayor John Noak said as more people attend Village events, there is a greater need for parking and hard surface to use for events.

Drey said the expansion target finish date is June 20.
