Delays in improvements make Park West worth the wait
By Tina Ketter
Planning for improvements at Oregon Park District’s Park West in Illinois were many years in the making. Because of COVID-19, the timing of the completion was actually an asset, not only to residents, but to surrounding communities as well.
Improvements at the most-used district park were stalled in 2019 by grant paperwork and construction timelines. What was to begin in the spring was moved to fall and was not completed until summer 2020.
