Huntley downtown work almost done

Huntley has completed a $4.75 million downtown revitalization and streetscape project which began last year. It included upgrading infrastructure, relocating overhead and underground utilities, renovating stormwater and sewer lines, widening sidewalks along Main Street, reconstructing streets and adding signage.

Its Town Square also received upgrades with new planters, trees, walkways, benches and bike racks.

The last remaining piece is installation of a veterans' memorial, which will be dedicated July 2. Brick pavers will be installed this week near the memorial site, while the 25-foot-long curved black granite monument will arrive within the next two weeks, officials said.
