Your Connection to Prime Commercial Corridors

A strategically inspired commercial development plan allows the Village to embrace growth along its high traffic corridors (Bell Road, 143^rd Street and 159^th Street), while elsewhere preserving the semi-rural character that makes Homer Glen such a desirable community.
