Aurora’s Richard C. Irvin, mayor, prepares to cut the ribbon Saturday, June 1 on Stolp Avenue in front of the Paramount School of the Arts in the middle of a group to include aldermen, a congressman, and guest speakers. The building, the former Waubonsee Community College Downtown Campus and retail stores prior to that, includes 38 lofts.

The groundbreaking was the site of the building, since torn down, of the Aurora Moose Lodge. The Aurora Regional Chamber of Commerce was the host. The first of two phases in the projected $8 Million community center is estimated to cost $5 Million and will be 11,350 square feet with a completion target date of August 2020. Included will be a chapel, classrooms, food pantry, and social services office. Phase two will be 11,700 square feet with an estimated cost of $3 Million.Jason Crane/The VoiceOswego officials and guests pose with shovels in early November in the first phase of construction of The Reserve at Hudson Crossing, the $69 Million six-story, two-building development of luxury-apartment living and retail on Washington Street in downtown Oswego.
