Joliet realtor Patrick D. Fahey proposed a plan to build 357 custom homes on 90 acres near Theodore Street if sewer and water are extended at an estimated 325000. He would finance the extensions, with monthly water charges reimbursing half the cost over 12 to 13 years, after which the city would own the system. The project would include 200 rentals and 157 for sale, with prices undisclosed.
