About this Article

By changing the location of a planned recreation center, West Chicago Park District officials did more than convince a majority of voters to approve the $15.5 million project. The 65,000-square-foot facility at Reed-Keppler Park is expected to debut "at least two years" sooner than it could have opened at its originally proposed location in downtown West Chicago.
