Dear Neighbor, I am pleased to write this letter to you after a year of nothing but sustained growth and progress for our business communities. The Grand Corridor Chamber of Commerce has helped officiate numerous groundbreaking and grand opening celebrations in what is a strong and positive foreshadowing of the year to come. As we keep progressing forward into 2018, the speculation about the new business moving into town is becoming reality, as more and more are taking notice of our burgeoning business corridor. This success is attributed to you – the residents, business owners and leaders in our respective communities and with that, the Chamber thanks you for your loyalty and dedication. Chamber membership was growing at a steady pace in 2017 and we hope to surpass that in 2018. As a consumer, I invite you to utilize the resources of the Grand Corridor Chamber of Commerce, such as our mobile-friendly website and the Community Guide to help make the decision where you will eat tonight, bank tomorrow and shop this weekend. While supporting our local business establishments, you are helping to ensure the era of progress will continue for a long time to come. Thank you again for being the best neighbors a business could ask for, and best regards for a healthy and prosperous 2018. Remember that our small business is our countries big business. Shop local and especially in the Grand Corridor Chamber of Commerce.

Elmwood Park Village President Welcome What a whirlwind of a year it has been in Elmwood Park. The Village administration has worked tirelessly to support our businesses, lay the groundwork to attract new businesses and to keep our community economically vibrant. One of our biggest projects of 2017 was the redevelopment and streetscape on Conti Parkway. Earlier this year, the village purchased four properties in the Circle that will be redeveloped to continue to build momentum and make the area more appealing to pedestrians and businesses. The investment hasn’t been limited to the Circle though. We’ve also built on the success of the popular Restaurant Row on North Avenue, adding much needed public parking for patrons of those businesses. Speaking of Restaurant Row, we were happy to launch our Dine Elmwood Park video series this year featuring our many popular eating destinations. If you haven’t seen them yet, check out our YouTube channel: www.YouTube.com/VillageOfElmwoodPark. This year, Elmwood Park will take our commitment to dining to the next level with our first ever Restaurant Week Feb. 1626. Combined with our biggest and most successful Taste of Elmwood Park ever, our village continues to cultivate a reputation as a premier dining destination in the Chicago area. The railroad grade separation at Grand Avenue remains on the forefront of our agenda and in October, I traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with Senator Tammy Duckworth and other members of Congress to discuss the underpass as well as other infrastructure improvements. We have secured $4.2 million of

the $7 million needed to complete the engineering for the grade separation, and we are working with Cook County and the Illinois Department of Transportation to come up with the remaining $2.4 million. Once we complete the engineering, the project will be shovel ready and well positioned for construction funding. Home sales and property values also continue to grow and we’ve invested in our reputation as a family friendly community with things like a new splash pad in Central Park. People know that our village is safe, clean and well maintained. Elmwood Park has great cultural events, famous restaurants, great access to downtown Chicago and a strong business climate. It’s no wonder people choose to live here. Residents and business owners can rest assured that their village officials have continued the record of fiscal responsibility that they’ve come to expect. By pursuing partnerships, grants and low interest loan payments, Elmwood Park has saved taxpayers an estimated $18.2 million over the past four years on projects ranging from road resurfacing and street beautification to flood mitigation and the ongoing railroad grade separation project on Grand Avenue. This year has been a tremendous one and we look forward to making 2018 just as memorable.

River Grove President Welcome I am grateful and humbled to have the opportunity to serve as Village President of my home town. My wife and I feel River Grove is a fantastic town to raise our family with its small town feel and big city access. Our tree-lined streets and beautiful forest preserves add to its charm. With easy access to downtown Chicago via rail, bike or car, proximity to O’Hare Airport and quick entry to two major highways, River Grove real estate is in high demand. This past year, we welcomed high end residential developments to feed our downtown area businesses and restaurants. Thatcher Woods Plaza has never been busier and interest in our town is at an all-time high. River Grove welcomed Go 2 Logistics and its approximate 22-million-dollar investment in our community. This will bring new jobs and more costumers to support our local businesses. 2018 promises to be a great year in River Grove’s history as we celebrate our 130th birthday and proudly stand as Leyden Township’s oldest municipality. I welcome your family or business to our town and I am always available. Contact me via e mail, mayor@ rivergroveil.gov, or call my office directly at (708) 453-8000. River Grove is open for business and I am here to serve you.

Cook County Commissioner Welcome Dear Neighbors, I am very proud to represent Elmwood Park and River Grove on the Cook County Board. Over the years, I have seen and supported many positive changes in our commercial and business areas. Businesses provide jobs, enhance our quality of life and bolster the strength of our community groups, churches, schools and sports organizations. In order to keep our areas vibrant, it is vitally important that we attract new businesses. It is equally important that we support our existing local businesses, especially as brick-and-mortar operations are continually challenged by on line options. Please continue to patronize our local businesses, and remember that many of them are owned and operated by our neighbors. Consider it an investment in your future – and in the future of our communities!

BRING IT HOME TO
