The process began in 1993, with land acquisition completed in 1996 and construction completed in 1998. The Village established a series of planning and design objectives to market the significant potential of this property for new commercial development.
The vision for the property expanded to include a public area that would become an integral component of the overall design, consisting of an attractive view corridor, pedestrian walkway system, water fountains and extensive landscaping.
The gratitude of the community is extended to the following individuals entrusted with bringing the revitalization project to reality:
Craig B. Johnson - Village President
Nancy J. Czarnik - Village Trustee
Bart K. Dill - Village Trustee
Patton L. Feichter - Village Trustee
Samuel L. Lissner - Village Trustee
