Mokena Transit-Oriented Development Plan

After completing the plan in 2008 the Village has taken several implementation steps, including the establishment of a TIF District as well as instituting permit fee relief and grant programs

Mokena received a grant from the Federal Railroad Grade Protection Fund in April 2011 for signal improvements at the intersection of Wolf Road and the Metra tracks located just south of Front Street. This will help improve traffic movements across the Metra tracks at Wolf Road, as suggested in the Plan.

Mokena was chosen as part of the 2012 RTA Community Planning Program of Projects for assistance connecting with development experts to discuss opportunities in the TOD study area. A panel of development experts met in November 2012 to discuss potential redevelopment opportunities in the TOD area and provide guidance and advice on ways the Village can attract development. A summary of this discussion can be found in the Study Documents. In recent years, (2) commercial projects were completed; 4,400 sq.ft 'Tribes Brewery' completed in May 2018, and 5,000 sq.ft 'Current Call Theater' completed in February 2017.
