Village Seeks Volunteers for La Grange 2020 Panel

The Village of La Grange will launch an effort to maintain and enhance the village's quality of life—that pizzazz, oomph and utter charm that residents move here to enjoy—as a celebration of its 135th anniversary in 2014.  

The village will create a fixed-term advisory panel of people, with a working title of La Grange 2020, who will think about and advise on major topics such as parking, beautification, economic development, infrastructure, and public safety resources, according to the Village of La Grange.

In addition to current commission chairs, business people and community leaders, the village is looking for about 20 residents to help with the initiative.

Panel participants would be expected to attend monthly meetings, requiring no more than three hours per meeting, beginning in September 2013. The engagement is expected to conclude in May 2014, with a report to the Village Board.

Interested residents should submit a one-page professional biography addressed to Village President Tom Livingston via email in care of cbenjamin@villageoflagrange.com no later than Wednesday, July 31.
