The Oswego Planning and Zoning Commission will review site plans for a proposed 25,000-square-foot HomeGoods store at the Prairie Market East shopping center. The development would feature the new retail tenant on a 9-acre site along Route 34 at Fifth Street. The village board previously authorized an economic incentive agreement of up to $1.5 million to assist the shopping center owners with the construction.

Why it matters

The proposed HomeGoods store is part of the ongoing development and revitalization of the Prairie Market East shopping center, which is a key commercial hub for the Oswego community. The addition of a major national retailer like HomeGoods is expected to drive increased foot traffic and economic activity in the area.

The details

The proposed 25,000-square-foot HomeGoods store would be located between PetSmart and Aldi at the Prairie Market East shopping center. The original approved building footprint for the property was 16,944 square feet, so the new proposal exceeds that by 8,056 square feet, requiring a major planned unit development amendment. The developer is also requesting a wall sign larger than the PUD currently permits.

  • The Oswego Planning and Zoning Commission will review the site plans on Thursday, April 6, 2026.
  • The Oswego Village Board authorized the economic incentive agreement in December 2025.
