Habitat for Humanity To Build 4 Homes in Batavia
The non-profit builder plans to build the homes at the former west side water tower site.

BATAVIA, IL -- Habitat for Humanity will be coming to Batavia this summer with plans to build its first two single family homes this year on a half-acre property on Wilson Street. The Batavia Plan Commission approved the non-profit’s project earlier this month. Habitat for Humanity will build a total of four single family-homes on the property at 1600 W. Wilson Street, which is the former west side water tower site, according to the article.
Construction on two of the homes, which will be built to fit the families buying the homes, will be built this year and two will be constructed next year, Jerry Pietryla of Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley told the Kane County Chronicle. The homes are expected to be priced around $225,000.
“We have a waiting list,” Pietryla told planners. “It’s a matching game.”
