Oswego Trustees Warm to Smaller Lodi Grove Plan Near Oswego East High

A developer's plan to build hundreds of homes next to Oswego East High School just got noticeably smaller, and village trustees seem to like what they're seeing so far. Silverthorne Homebuilders' revised concept for the Lodi Grove subdivision now calls for 183 single-family homes and 232 townhome units, down from an earlier proposal of 182 single-family homes and 295 townhome units. Trustees did not take a formal vote on the concept because the project remains in its early planning stage, but the reaction at the table was largely positive.
