Pingree Grove T
he Village of Pingree Grove is growing! Nestled between routes 47, 72 and 20, the Village of Pingree Grove has expanded from a quaint little hamlet of 50 homes to a bustling community of over 3,000 homes! For the past four years, we have issued an average of 295 new residential construction permits per year, and the outlook for continued growth remains high for years to come. Population estimates for cities and towns provided by the U.S. Census Bureau indicate the Village of Pingree Grove has seen a population growth of over 60% since the 2010 Census when our population was 4,532. With a current estimated population nearing 7,500, we are looking to expand our commercial and industrial base to provide jobs, needed services, and local revenue to our community. To spur this growth, the Village will be constructing a new Municipal Center at the west intersection of Reinking Rd and Highland Ave. This center will be home to the administrative offices and meeting rooms of Village Hall, the Building Department, and the Public Works Department. Plans are set to break ground in summer, 2018 with an anticipated move-in date by March, 2019. We are very excited about this new building and hope it will be a symbol of pride and accomplishment for our residents as well. With the help of many volunteers, our newly redesigned website, and other social media outlets, Pingree Grove wants the world to know we are a great place to grow a business, a family, and a community.
