Congratulations to the Village of Maywood, City of Berwyn, Village of Riverside, Village of River Grove, Village of Forest Park, Village of Bellwood and the remaining communities within West Cook that will join us.
Thank you Senate President Don Harmon and Majority Leader State Senator Kimberly A. Lightford for supporting this great initiative.
I look forward to working with Urban Efficiency Group, Seven Generations Ahead, The Chicago Urban League, ComEd, and Elevate Energy as we continue to move our communities forward.
C4 is designed to bring together BIPOC and non-minority communities across income lines to share ideas, secure resources, and drive large-scale projects within and across communities that achieve agreed upon greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, equity, and sustainability goals.
Together we will drive large-scale projects in the areas of renewable energy, energy efficiency, electric vehicles, jobs and workforce development, air quality improvement and other sustainability areas that help to achieve GHG emissions reductions, equity and sustainability goals.
Thank you Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar of Cook County Government for bringing Cook County Fire Department / Emergency Management Agency EMA and Illinois Emergency Management Agency to discuss our disaster relief options for the Village of Maywood along with our surrounding communities.
While we have Declared a State of Emergency we must continue our work with the County and State to work towards resource options. Over the next few weeks various assessments are being made to work on resources for small businesses, home owners, renters, and government. As updates are made available, I will be sure to share with our residents.

Juneteenth 2022 we kicked off our Innaugral West Villages Juneteenth Parade in amazing unity!
Village of Maywood Mayor Nathaniel George Booker, Village of Forest Park, Mayor Rory Hoskins - Forest Park, Village of Oak Park, Illinois Oak Park Village President - Vicki Scaman, Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson, Village of River Forest Mayor Cathy Adduci, Bellwood Mayor Andre Harvey, Village of Riverside, Mayor Joseph Ballerine, Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi, Commissioner Brandon Johnson, Majority Leader State Senator Kimberly A. Lightford, Congressman Danny K. Davis and so many more came together for a beautiful day.
We celebrate and remember ! Although it is now being recognized as a national holiday for a second year, we must never lose sight of the true essence of this pivotal day that enslaved Black people in Texas were notified of their freedom two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
As we remember our ancestors’ journey to liberation, let it compel us to continue the use of social action to work against modern forms of oppression through the prison, economic, and legislative systems that stand as barriers of entry and tools of disenfranchisement in the lives of African Americans today.
Celebrate and gather remembering the dual reality of joy on this day but also the heavy truths of what was endured before and after.
Village of Forest Park, Village of Oak Park, Illinois, Village of River Forest Village of Maywood combined to celebrate Juneteenth on Saturday, June 18, with a parade that ended at Maywood's historic Proviso East High School. Maywood DHSEM command staff and officers were on the scene providing traffic control and communications with Village of Maywood Police Department and Maywood Fire Department
I would like to thank the Village of Maywood Public Works Department all those who are still diligently working to clean up from the storm.
IEMA is currently working with Cook County to determine, through local city damage assessment information, if there is enough damage.
Any other potential FEMA request will be determined once the local final damage assessment information is received and reviewed by IEMA. The damage assessment info is to be turned in to IEMA by COB on June 21, 2022, for review.
