Greetings from the Mayor

John Egofske, Mayor

WELCOME TO LEMONT

Our picturesque Village in the south suburbs was named one of the best day trip destinations for Chicagoans to visit. We are excited to join the ranks of Galena, Lake Geneva, Grand Rapids, MI, and Milwaukee, WI, as a recreation destination and a hot spot for millennials. Whether you are an adventure seeker, foodie, shopper, runner, biker, or nature lover, Lemont is the place to be. Our downtown is something to experience, and you will feel right at home in one of the many family-owned restaurant and shops as you stroll amongst our historic limestone buildings. Check out our 1 Day, 4 Ways Daytrip Itineraries on our LemontDowntown. com website and plan your visit. If you haven’t been to The Forge: Lemont Quarries Adventure Park, what are you waiting for? The Forge was selected as a top readers’ choice in USA Today 10 Best Aerial Adventure Park in the U.S. Nestled in our Heritage Quarry Recreation Area, there is a number of activities, including ziplines, climbing walls, mountain biking, outdoor concerts, dining experiences, and so much more. Visit their website at forgeparks.com. Lemont is accommodating young families, entrepreneurs, professionals and residents of all ages that want an active lifestyle. There are many new residential developments to meet these needs, from single family homes, to duplexes and townhomes and luxury apartment buildings. We are experiencing a growing excitement in Lemont. May this Heritage Corridor Business Alliance Community Resource Guide help you discover a new restaurant, service or shop. Many of our local businesses are listed, and it is up to us to help support them so that we continue to have a strong and desirable community. There is always something to do in Lemont, from our Lemontster Days, to Lighting up Lemont, parades, car shows and sunset soirees. Please visit our websites and social media channels for everything going on in our great town.
