The Lemont Village Board Monday night approved a preliminary bond ordinance to finance a $21 million indoor/outdoor sports facility proposed for the village’s downtown area.

Village board gave Sweetwater Deli permission to soon begin offering beer and wine at its location in downtown Lemont.
Sweetwater Deli may be well known for its home-made chicken noodle soup and chicken salad piled high on a pretzel roll, but owner Annette Gioiosa is looking forward to adding yet another category to the menu. The Lemont Village Board on Monday paved the way for Sweetwater to obtain a liquor license -- and Gioiosa expects to begin selling beer and wine at her downtown deli and café within a couple of weeks. “We will be selling wine by the glass, and also doing some off-the-shelf wine,” Gioiosa said. “We will also serve a couple of typical beers, like MGD, Corona and Heineken, as well as some specialty beers.” Since Gioiosa and her husband, Dan, opened the deli and café at 316 Canal St. in October 2010, Sweetwater has attracted a loyal …

Parcel on Archer Avenue is in blighted area targeted for redevelopment.
The village took another step toward creating an enhanced gateway into the village out of a blighted industrial area between the I&M Canal and Archer Avenue.

One plan was to build an inlet off… more ›
