Phase I of the Willeke Street project is nearly complete with only blacktopping left to be done, which is scheduled for next week. The $1.1 million project included new storm sewers, new sanitary sewers, new catch basins, water mains, sidewalks and gutters, and rebuilt road.
Phase II, slated for bid and completion next year, will include the same improvements. The cost will be $1.4 million. The Village received a $500,000 state grant for phase I and a similar amount for phase II. Part of the cost will be assessed the property owners.
There will be a public meeting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at Community Health Professionals for phase II. At that meeting, funding details, assessments to property owners, and construction plans will be explained, and those attending may ask questions.
