Site work and new construction of a recreation facility in Oregon, Illinois. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a recreation facility; and for site work for a recreation facility.

The Lee County Board has approved three ordinances to expand the boundaries of the Lee-Ogle County Enterprise Zone in preparation for three new projects planned in rural Lee and Ogle counties. The enterprise zone, created through the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, is designed to stimulate economic growth by offering state and local tax incentives to projects within the zone. Expanding it will ultimately go to the IDCEO for final approval, but its advisory board is first seeking approval from all local governments within the zone. The process is expected to take several months. This project between Amboy and Sublette involves building an entertainment complex along with a separate bar and restaurant. The first map amendment approved by the Dixon council includes about 10.61 acres for two separate developments called Fun on 52 and Pub & Patio along Route 52 between Amboy and Sublette. Pub & Patio, formerly Sublette Saloon at 1831 Tower Road, will be a bar and grill restaurant. Next to that existing building, developer Sanjay Desai plans to add an entertainment space featuring bowling, ax throwing and other activities. Desai's other project, known as Fun on 52, is planned to be a family-oriented amusement complex with golf activities and go-karts. The facility will be all new construction off of Route 52 near the Mendota Hills Campground in Amboy. Pub & Patio is expected to open late 2025 while Fun on 52 will take at least a few years to complete. As of February 14, 2025, IDCEO must give final approval for the enterprise zone boundary expansion before the project can begin to move forward. *Project information, including timeline and contacts, has been obtained through public sources.
