Before it became the New Lenox Village Commons, it looked like this.
In the winter of 2004 and throughout 2005, P.T. Ferro crews built the site that would become one of the most recognizable public spaces in New Lenox.
These photos show the Commons taking shape from the ground up. Earthwork, grading, concrete, pond construction, and the site infrastructure that tied it all together.
More than 20 years later, that work has become part of daily life in the Village. The Commons now hosts concerts, community events, farmers markets, holiday celebrations, and countless gatherings around Village Hall.
That is what makes projects like this worth looking back on.
We built the place.
New Lenox made it theirs.
