GREAT JOB, Elk Grove Village--We have surpassed our 2010 census self-response rate by over 2 percentage points! But there's only a month left to complete the census, and we're still short of the 100% response we need to ensure our community is counted.

Census takers have began non-response followups in our area, but you can help by responding online now! The best way to avoid seeing a census taker at your door is to self-respond at www.my2020census.gov or 844-330-2020 before September 30, 2020.

If you do get a visit from the census, remember that legitimate census takers will never ask for your Social Security Number, money or donations, anything on behalf of a political party, bank or credit card account numbers, or ask to come inside. #CensusSaturday ... See more

It is with deep sadness that Elk Grove Village announces the passing of former Village Trustee, James (Jim) Paul Petri on July 23, 2020. He will always be remembered as a devoted family man, US Army Veteran, a 45 year employee of United Airlines, a strong regional advocate, and the longest serving elected official in Elk Grove history.

With a well-earned reputation as Elk Grove’s “Elder Statesman”, Jim Petri, passionately served the residents and businesses of Elk Grove Village as an elected official for over 42 years.

Jim served on numerous local and regional initiatives. He served on the Board of Directors of the Northwest Municipal Conference and the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County for over 2 decades. Jim also volunteered to serve on the Elgin O’Hare Western Access Local Advisory Committee, License Review Advisory Body, Personnel Committee, False Alarm Hearing Board, and a Labor Representative for the Fire Department and Public Works Department.

The Village named its headquarters public works facility on Devon Avenue after Petri, which was one of his last projects as an elected official. Today and through the next week, bunting can be seen on the building in honor of Petri’s legacy.
