Harmony Square grand opening scheduled; trustees praise multi‑department effort
Summary
Village staff and trustees announced the grand opening of Harmony Square with evening ribbon‑cutting and a weekend block party; board members credited staff and partners for completing the project.
Village staff and trustees used the July 15 meeting to announce the grand opening of Harmony Square, scheduled for the coming weekend, and to thank staff and partners for completing the project.
Donna (staff member) told the board WGN will be on site Friday morning and that a program starts about 7:30 p.m. Friday evening; a block party will run Saturday and Sunday (Saturday roughly 2–10 p.m., Sunday noon–7 p.m.). Trustees praised the marketing, public works and other departments for delivering the project after several years of planning.
Why it matters: Harmony Square is a visible public space near Village Hall; trustees described the opening as the culmination of a branding and implementation effort that began in March 2017 and involved coordination across departments and outside partners. Several trustees urged residents to attend the weekend festivities.
Trustees also used the announcements to thank individual staff and former elected officials involved in the project’s development. No board action was required; the remarks were informational.
