Bolingbrook Approves Architect Proposal For Animal Control Facility

BOLINGBROOK, IL — At its Tuesday meeting, the Bolingbrook Village Board approved a proposal for architectural designs and construction documentation for an Animal Control and Care Facility on Canterbury Lane.

The proposal is with Telos Architects, PLLC, and is for $68,500.

Mayor Mary Alexander-Basta said the company will provide multiple conceptual designs and documentation. The project will then be bid out.

"The Village has received approval for state grant money to support the project," Alexander-Basta said.

The proposed facility is located next to the Bolingbrook Public Works building.

Alexander-Basta said the Village currently has a facility off of Route 53 and Royce Road.

"The facility is small, we're not able to expand the facility because of its location and flood plain," she said.

Alexander-Basta said the Village has a piece of land next to the Public Works building, and would allow for more space for the Animal Control staff.

"Just an overall larger, accommodating facility," Alexander-Basta said. "Again, this is something that we applied for grant money and received the grant money. So it's kind of a win-win for the Village."
