Peotone, IL – Residents in Peotone are being asked to prepare for demolition work scheduled to begin Saturday, October 4, 2025, at 528 Schroeder Avenue.
According to the Village of Peotone, contractors will begin tearing down the building Saturday morning, a process that could last most of the day. Cleanup and debris removal are expected to continue on Monday, October 6, and Tuesday, October 7. Crews will use water during the demolition to help contain dust.
Officials advise neighbors close to the site to shut windows on Saturday to limit dust entering their homes. “This has been a long process to get to this point and we appreciate everyone’s patience throughout this legal process,” the Village stated in a public notice.
The demolition marks the start of redevelopment at the site. Once cleared, a new building is planned for the property. Village leaders emphasized that while crews will work to reduce disruption, noise, construction activity, and dust should be expected in the immediate area.
Residents are encouraged to plan ahead for the temporary impacts and to exercise caution around the demolition zone.
