Romeoville Introduction
Historically, the Village of Romeoville has always benefited from its location. Romeoville is conveniently situated on the Des Plaines River. The area’s settlement was facilitated by the nearby construction of the I & M Canal. Today Romeoville’s connection with I-55, I-355, Route 53 and Weber Road, one of the fastest-growing commercial corridors in Will County, has led to unprecedented growth.
Plans are underway for the development of a true community-oriented downtown, replete with new shops, restaurants and a Village Community Center. Construction was recently completed on the International Ice Arena, home of the Huskies Hockey Club, a Target, and other numerous surrounding high-end stores. The additions have served the current population but also accommodate the large influx of people moving to Romeoville.
The increasingly expanding Village of Romeoville may be building towards a brighter future, but it still holds its tried and true traditions close to heart. Lewis University is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and is consistently ranked as one of the best private universities in the Midwest. Creative entrepreneurs have taken their visions and turned them into successful realities. Romeoville’s many business parks house thriving companies that have spurred economic development in the village. Romeofest, the Village’s annual summer celebration, draws nearly 40,000 people each year from all over the area.
High-quality amenities, including outstanding healthcare and educational facilities, are accessible to Romeoville residents. Four excellent hospitals are provided to the community — Provena St. Joseph Medical Center, Silver Cross Hospital, Edward Hospital, and the up and coming Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital. Several first-rate school districts operate in the Romeoville area, offering education from pre-K to grade 12. Higher education facilities are also offered in and around the community, including Northeastern Illinois, Lewis University and Joliet Junior College.
No progress is possible without collaboration and cooperation between the government, businesses, schools and concerned citizens. Romeoville’s success says a lot about the ability of all groups involved to work together for the common cause of lifting the village to where it deserves to be. So many committed people and strong organizations have contributed to the success of Romeoville, and the best is yet to come.
