South Holland Town Center Redevelopment

 

This project consists of the redevelopment of the Village of South Holland downtown area. South Park Avenue, an unmarked state route, along with other adjacent residential streets required complete reconstruction to serve the future infrastructure needs of the Town Center Redevelopment. The improvements include roadways, streetscape, watermain, street lighting, parking lots, storm sewers, stormwater detention, and sewer lining. Robinson Engineering, Ltd. surveyed, designed, prepared plats, bid, and oversaw nine (9) separate construction contracts over a three year time frame.
