HUNTLEY – A 10,400 square-foot childcare center by Lighthouse Academy will be coming to Huntley in the near future. The building will be located directly east of Culver’s and Sherwin-Williams and south of Powers Road on Lot 9 in the Huntley Crossing subdivision.
Charles Nordman, of the Village offices, said that the “Lighthouse Academy will require a Special Use Permit for a childcare center and that the two-acre lot would have 70 parking spaces.”
According to the plans submitted by the academy, the main floor of the building will have 12 classrooms, office and kitchen space. A lower level will have 1 school-age classroom, a gymnasium, staff lounge, storage space and 5,000 square feet of multi-purpose space.
There will be two playgrounds totaling another 6,800 square feet. The playgrounds will be separated by age groups.
They hope to finish construction in the Spring and open in June of this year.
The Village Ordinance to permit the construction and use of the building was passed unanimously at the January 27 Village Board meeting.
