Construction has begun on the new Oswego Entertainment Venue. Work on the park and amphitheater project, which is located adjacent to the Park N Ride Lot at the proposed site of a future Metra station, is underway in earnest. Weather permitting, the first phase of the amphitheater project will be completed by July, with turf ready for performances around the end of August.
Residents and businesses interested in bringing this community to life can donate to the project and even buy a commemorative brick for the venue's entryway. Read more.

People in Kendall County can now text 911 in an emergency. KenCom, the agency that handles emergency dispatch in communities across Kendall County, recently announced that it has implemented a Text-to-911 feature.
In an emergency, you should still call 911 by phone if you are able. However, if you are in a situation in which it would be unsafe to call, or if you have a disability that makes calling difficult, you can now send a text for emergency services. If you use this service, include the details of the emergency, especially the location, in your initial text. Call when you can. Text when you can't. Read more.
