House Demolition at 339 and 349 S Main Street
For many years, the Village has owned 339 S Main Street, and in 2023 acquired 349 S Main Street. The Village’s long-term plan is to utilize the combined properties to construct a Government Center where the Police Department, Village Hall, and Community Development would be housed together.
As of 3/18/2024 recent work has involved:
- Asbestos and tree removal completed at 349 S Main Street
- 339 S Main Street did not require asbestos removal.
- 10-day waiting period per IEPA before demolition of both 339 and 349 S Main Street (ending 3/25/2024)
- Demolition of both properties are expected to start 3/25/2024
- Prior to demolition of these properties, the Wauconda Fire District and Wauconda Police Department will utilize houses for training purposes
- Upon demolition completion, landscape restoration will consist of topsoil and seeding. There are no immediate plans to construct a new building; however, without the additional land, there would not be enough space for the eventual combined facility.
