Developer MJC outlines plan for former Romeo Junior High; promises community meeting
Summary
Representatives of MJC Companies presented a preliminary vision for the former Romeo Junior High at 297 Prospect St., citing local ties, job creation during construction and plans to schedule a community meeting and a landing page to gather feedback.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, Miguel Churo, joined by Mario Izzy, spoke for MJC Companies and introduced a preliminary development concept for the property at 297 Prospect Street, the site of the former Romeo Junior High.
Churo framed the proposal with a personal connection to the village and said the project aims to pair the village's historic character with modern home construction, create construction-period jobs and expand the property tax base to support services. He said MJC has held preliminary meetings with village planning, engineering and public works staff and will prepare a site-plan submission when ready. MJC said it will hold a community meeting and set up an email address (prospectromeo@mjccmpies.com) and a project landing page for residents to send comments before the meeting.
Churo briefly mentioned expected product types and price points while stressing zoning compliance: he indicated plans will conform to existing zoning and that the company is considering a range of home styles and price points, and suggested an approximate average price range in comments later in the meeting. No formal application was filed at the meeting and trustees did not act on the proposal; MJC said it would return with more detailed plans after outreach and site-plan work.
What happens next: MJC said it will announce a community meeting date, accept written comments via the provided contact and submit a formal site plan to village staff when ready.
