The Romeoville Athletic and Event Center is shaping up, as the walls are erected this week for the new 76,000-square-foot facility.
Located in the former Spartans' Square Shopping Center, the facility will provide unique opportunities to the vast and growing sports market. It offers two indoor soccer fields and two IHSA basketball courts/volleyball courts.
The Romeoville Athletic and Event Center is the first component in Uptown Square (formerly called the Downtown Redevelopment project.) Once completed, residents will also enjoy Uptown Square which will serve as a gathering place as well as space for future community events.
"It's exciting to see great progress being made. I look forward to the completion of this project, as well as the start of the commercial development," said Mayor Noak.
Funding for the project is through a Tax Increment Financing District. The completion date for the new Romeoville Athletic and Event Center is anticipated
in February 2014.
