Homer Glen residents are interested in a family friendly community gathering place with independently owned restaurants and shops in a future town center.
, an urban planning and design firm, in February to gauge residents’ opinions and study market conditions to develop a town center.The group recently issued its first phase of the report, based on more than 400 community survey responses as well as more than 25 focus groups and one-on-one interviews conducted in-person and through video calls.
The report said residents want a family friendly environment that allows children to play or explore with some independence. Sidewalk dining in a nice setting that doesn’t face a parking lot or street is desirable, and residents want to have more dining options so they don’t have to leave Homer Glen. The town center should also be unique with independent businesses over chains, the report states.
Residents indicated they want the town center to be designed with the environment in mind, maintaining protected open space and including native landscaping, renewable energy and water conservation. Those who opposed the town center feared it would change the small-town, rural character of Homer Glen and increase traffic, the report said.
