Schererville continues preparing for its Kennedy Avenue improvements.

Schererville continues acquiring land for its Kennedy Avenue project. The town council last week approved another seven property purchases totaling $327,865.

Schererville is another step closer to getting a mixed-use development downtown. The owner of Little Italy restaurant in Dyer has agreed to buy an acre of land at 22 West Joliet Street from the town, according to Schererville Director of Operations Andrew Hansen.

Road work is coming to Main Street between Calumet Avenue and U.S. 41. Dyer, Munster and Schererville are teaming up to do "deep patching on specific problem segments of roadway."

The town of Schererville is moving forward with efforts to attract new development downtown. The redevelopment commission is currently accepting offers for an acre of property at 22 West Joliet Street, just west of the town hall.
