St. Charles plan commissioners recently unanimously recommended approval of plans to expand First Street Plaza in downtown.
In 2020, the city council unanimously voted to purchase the former Manor Restaurant site at the southeast corner of Main and First streets for $1 million to expand the First Street Plaza. Starting during the pandemic in the spring of 2020, the St. Charles City Council approved expanding outdoor dining within the First Street public plaza spaces. The portion of First Street through the plaza area was closed to vehicle traffic to allow for additional seating and pedestrian pathways during the outdoor dining season.
Ken Henricks, president of Alter Brewing + Kitchen at 12 S. 1st St., was happy to see the project moving forward, but had concerns, as well.
"The city is committed to working with the businesses to try to come up with the best possible outcome," he said. Site acquisition, design and construction costs for the first phase were roughly $2 million. With grants and donations totaling $794,171 -- including a $600,000 grant from Exelon and a $56,153 Kane County Riverboat Grant -- the city paid $1.2 million in net costs.
