County Accepts $377,000 Developer Donation for Romeo Road Improvements
The Will County Public Works and Transportation Committee has accepted a $377,000 donation from a developer to fund roadway improvements at the southeast corner of Romeo Road and Weber Road in Romeoville.
Permit Manager Kyle Catalano explained that the funds are associated with the proposed Monarch Grove development in the village of Romeoville. The donation will cover the developer’s portion of required roadway improvements, including left and right turn lanes.
“When we have an ongoing roadway improvement like on Weber Road, we see an opportunity to incorporate those improvements during both projects,” Catalano told the committee. This approach prevents a scenario where newly constructed improvements would need to be torn out and rebuilt during subsequent projects.
The cost estimate was prepared by the county’s consultant for the Weber Road project and reviewed by the developer’s engineer, Kimley Horn.
Committee member Amanda Koch praised the coordinated approach. “I kind of like the foresight there,” she said.
Along with the monetary donation, the development will dedicate property for right-of-way to accommodate future improvements. The committee’s approval is final and does not require full County Board action.
