Trader Joe's, Costco, Hobby Lobby, light industrial and commercial and many more are on the list that the Village of Oswego hopes to attract to build in Oswego.
Could a Trader Joe's be in the Village of Oswego's future? Quite possibly. Trader Joe's, Costco, Hobby Lobby are just a few of the more than 100 businesses and light industries the Village of Oswego plans to approach in the coming months. "Based on the market for Oswego we came up with some categories and businesses," said economic development director Vijay Gadde. Gadde and village staff will be attending ICSC RECon in May - a trade show of over 30,000 people. For two and a half days Gadde will meet with dozens of retailers and developers to entice them to come to Oswego. "These are targets we think the community really wants," said village administrator Steve Jones. He said there were a number of businesses that don't know enough about …

The festival held at Prairie Point Park will celebrate the diversity of music, food and art.
Didn't get enough music and food at Prairiefest? There might be a new option coming this summer to Oswego called Beats and Eats, an all-day outdoor concert. Community relations manager Michele Brown said at Tuesday night's Village Board meeting the festival would focus on all genres of music and would feature up and coming artists from both around the area and the region. "We hope to reach a demographic we feel is not being met with any of our current events," said Brown. The festival was brought to the Village by Oswego businessman and resident Macey Brooks with the idea to celebrate diversity through music, art and food. "We felt [the festival] was a good fit for our community," said Brown. "It would help attract new people to the …

We are voting for Judy Sollinger, Pam Parr, and Ryan Kauffman for Oswego trustees who will energize Oswego’s economy by making decisions that will move us forward instead of stagnation. A couple of men running for re-election are costing us money and our future. They malign Pam Parr for working with Trustee Gail Johnson in Face to Face Communications. That rings as a winning combination to us, but is unfamiliar to the men’s one way communication – their way or the highway. We observed a couple years ago as over 100 businesses, school, park, and fire districts, library, township, and county members pled with them to set up a TIF for Alexander Lumber to no avail. Communities including Aurora, Montgomery, and Yorkville are building for …

Good. I'm glad to see a more "pro-oswego" mindset in the Oswego board. I believe the no-incentive/anti-business reputation of the previous board, plus the bone headed decision to abolish the OEDC were mistakes that finally caught up with Oswego. Big businesses looking to locate here expect incentives, and all the board has to do, is be able to perform or understand a proper cost benefit analysis… more ›
