Administrative Offices Closed

Administrative offices will be closed on Monday, December 26th and Monday, January 2nd in observance of Christmas and New Year's Day. As always, emergency services will be available.

Happy holidays from all of us to you!

Village Credit Rating Upgraded

On December 20, 2022, Moody’s Investor Services (Moody’s) announced that effective immediately, the Village’s credit rating would be upgraded from Aa2 to Aa1. Moody’s attributed the ratings increase to the financial and operational accomplishments made by the Village Board and staff over the last several years. In its credit opinion, Moody’s writes, “The village's financial profile has steadily improved including recent bolstering of fund balance and reduction in its exposure to competitive enterprise activity.” Beyond the prestigious nature of the ratings increase, the Aa1 rating will allow the Village to borrow money at a much lower cost, which will ultimately result in greater value for residents and businesses.

Snow Plow Reminders

With the first snowfall of the season here please take note of a few reminders regarding Village snow plowing.

Street plowing begins when snow is more than 1 inch deep with temperatures that indicate no melting
On-street parking is prohibited between 10 pm and 6 am during snow events
For everyone's safety, be alert and aware of Village snow plows and courteous to hard-working drivers

The #LibertyvilleGrinch Has Been Captured

After a lengthy trip through the Village, Libertyville Whos have once again foiled the Grinch's plans to steal Christmas! Local detectives followed the mischief through Greentree Park, Paul Neal Park, and Butler Lake Park before the Libertyville Police Department was able to apprehend the suspect.

Footage of the interception is available here. We are so grateful to those who helped us to save the holiday season for the second time!
