The space once occupied by the Ovation Center, located on the northeast corner of Weber Road and Airport Road, has been sold. It is being marketed for commercial/retail use, which will fit in seamlessly with the businesses in the otherwise full shopping center, including new arrivals Five Below, Hibbett, Ross, and Rack Room Shoes alongside long-time tenants Petco, T.J. Maxx, and Sally Beauty. Romeoville currently has a very low retail vacancy rate; therefore, we expect the space should be snapped up quickly once it hits the market. 

While the space has transitioned, there are plenty of senior activities and resources available to Romeoville residents. The Romeoville Recreation Department offers trips, restaurant outings, time to walk their gymnasiums and play pickleball, as well as the Golden Age Club to cultivate friendships and activities among the age 55+ community. In addition, the Village recently established a Senior Advisory Council, which consists of senior residents who will generate ideas and advocate for issues that affect the senior population. More information on these programs and resources can be found at romeoville.org/440/Senior-Information.

Additionally, Lockport Township has worked with the Romeoville Police and Fire Departments, along with other senior providers, to host a monthly Triad meeting at the Arts Center at Highpoint.  The Triad program provides opportunities for seniors to discuss a variety of topics such as healthcare, insurance, in home care and safety with law enforcement. 

Also, it has just been announced that the popular line dancing program that was held at Ovation will now be held at the Institute for Community at Highpoint. 

While Senior Services of Will County will no longer be located at 349 S. Weber Road, they are still providing resources. They can be reached at willcountyseniors.org or 815-240-3050.
