It's more of the same; huge attendance! 90+ business owners attended the first ever State of the Village meeting hosted by the Gurnee Chamber. Police Chief Bob Jones, Fire Chief Fred Friedl, Village Administrator Jim Hayner, and Mayor Kovarik were some of the featured speakers. The message of open communication and proactive department management was the theme. With the budget challenges presented by a sagging economy, each department head has been hard at work to cut cost, but also to improve services.
The Mayor encouraged businesses to join the Gurnee Chamber to get involved in the process. The chamber offers an excellent sounding board for ideas from businesses to be delivered to the Village leadership.
Congrats to all those involved, for another successful event!
