Outdoor Pickleball

Did you know that the Village recently added two pickleball courts at Nicholas Dowden? The east tennis court is now striped for pickleball and ready for play! Wheel out nets are available for use against the east fence. Don't forget to socially distance when using the courts.

2020 Crack Sealing Program

This year’s crack sealing program is anticipated to occur during the week of August 31st through September 4th, pending weather conditions.

It is requested that residents refrain from parking on the roadway between the hours of 7:00 am – 5:00 pm during the week that the work is to occur.

Crack sealing is an important part of the Village’s ongoing efforts to preserve pavement conditions and extend roadway lifespans to the greatest extent possible. To learn more and to view a location map of the areas including in the 2020 program click here.

Housing Relief Program

Lake County renters and homeowners who have been impacted by COVID-19 are invited to apply for a new program that offers financial assistance to help pay for rent, gas and electric bills.

The COVID Housing Relief Program is being funded by the Lake County Board, using federal dollars the county received through the federal CARES Act. The program offers financial assistance for up to three months of rent and/or utility bills for qualified residents who meet certain income guidelines. In order to qualify:

You must be a Lake County resident.
You must have recently lost income due to COVID-19, because of a job loss or other reasons, such as because you have to miss work to care for your school-age children. You can also qualify if you have a large unexpected medical cost.
You must have limited savings.
Your household must meet annual household income requirements.

To apply for the program, Lake County residents should call 211 or text their zip code to 898211. Learn more

Business Resources

The Village continues to post links to various business COVID-19 resources on the NewsFlash section of our Business page. Information includes links to state and federal financial resources, as well as Department of Health, Department of Labor and other advisories.
