The City of West Chicago, Illinois is seeking a qualified developer to rehabilitate a historic structure for retail, restaurant, office or cultural uses that is situated within the West Washington Street Redevelopment Project area.

 

The property is located at 151 W. Washington St. and is known as the Joel Wiant House. It was constructed circa 1869. It is a contributing structure within the locally designated Turner Junction Historic District and is listed on two state-wide historical surveys.

 

Rehabilitation of this property should result in a building that can accommodate viable commercial uses within the larger Redevelopment Project while preserving those portions or features that convey its historical, cultural and architectural value.

 

A mandatory walk-through of the building for any interested developers is scheduled for Jan. 13 and 18, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Request for qualification submittals are due by Jan. 30.

 

The City has acquired approximately 14 acres on the west side of downtown West Chicago. The Redevelopment Project area will include a new City Hall, new buildings for retail and office uses, and off-street parking. In addition, the West Chicago Park District is contemplating a community center within the Redevelopment Project area.

 

Additional information regarding the property and the rehabilitation project requirements may be found on the City of West Chicago’s website at www.westchicago.org.

  • Election Day Cowardice Written by Pam Gallagher

  • Wrongful Dirt Removal Written by Michael Hoffmann

    The thorium cleanup along the West Branch of the DuPage River reached my property last fall. I was hesitant to let around a dozen beautiful trees be taken out, but I believed in the greater good of removing thorium from this area, including my property.
