Orland Park held a public rededication ceremony at Village Hall to name the building the Frederick T. Owens Village Hall. The event included an invocation, a performance by the Orland Park Childrens Choir, remarks from Mayor Jim Dodge and family members, a formal announcement that the village board unanimously approved the rededication, and a sign unveiling followed by a short reception.

Mayor Jim Dodge opened the program and described the occasion as "an important day" to honor Owens. He used both the formal name "Frederick T. Owens" and the informal "Fred" while recounting Owens civic work and influence on the village. "I definitely appreciate what Fred did for the village," Dodge said, noting Owens role in creating the village center complex, advancing Lake Michigan water service, and promoting neighborhood parks and high development standards that, Dodge said, shape Orland Parks quality of life.

Maura delivered the invocation: "We gather today in gratitude as we rededicate the Frederick T Owens Village Hall, a place devoted to service and community. We honor the memory of Mayor Owens whose leadership helped shape Orland Park. Bless this building and all who work here. May this building continue to be a place where wisdom guides decisions, kindness inspires actions, and a shared commitment to community brings people together." The Orland Park Childrens Choir then performed a musical piece for attendees.

Margie Owens Klotz, a longtime village employee and daughter of Fred Owens, spoke about her fathers life, his years of service and personal stories from his time at the village. She said she began working for the village early in life and later retired in 2019 after about 40 years of service. "This building was draped in purple bunting," she recalled of her fathers funeral and the community response; she also noted that the village board voted in February 1993 to name the building in his memory.

Mayor Dodge announced that the board had unanimously voted to rededicate the building as the Frederick T. Owens Village Hall. The meeting record as spoken did not specify a motion maker or second, and individual roll-call votes were not read into the public remarks; Dodge described the boards action as a unanimous resolution.

After the official remarks, organizers unveiled the new sign for the building following a countdown. Attendees were invited inside for a short reception; Mayor Dodge thanked a local Girl Scout troop for assisting with the program and serving cake.

The ceremony combined formal recognition, musical tribute and family remembrances to mark the village halls rededication in Owens honor. The event included recollections of Owens role in local civic institutions and the villages growth through the late 20th century.
