“We are looking forward to the Interstate 355 extension to be completed,” explained George Schaaf, Jr., from Schaaf Window, a prominent company that has worked largely within the Kane County area for years. “We do recognize this as an area of growth for housing in the near future.”
Housing in Kane County is the second largest use of land, just behind agricultural use. Between 2000 and 2030, households are said to increase by 100,716.
