LETTER FROM THE MAYOR
Welcome!
DEAR RESIDENTS AND GUESTS:
A warm Westmont welcome to all! The Village of Westmont is a wonderful community right in the heart of the greater Chicago metro area and we are thankful to have such friendly neighbors. Westmont also enjoys the many guests that visit with us at our many businesses, events and activities throughout the year … a warm Westmont welcome to all.
We are all very excited for this very special year; Westmont is celebrating our 100th anniversary throughout 2021! Our actual 100th anniversary will occur on November 4, 2021; however, throughout the year, watch for special announcements and activities as we honor and share our history as we work to map our future growth and success.
To help keep connected throughout the year, visit the Village of Westmont website at www.westmont.illinois.gov for information on all things Westmont. Also, we recommend using the “Notify Me” option at the vIllage website. This will allow you to receive emails and text messages and stay aware of events, news and any emergency weather situations. Everyone finds this information helpful, so please register to connect soon. Westmont also offers social media resources to keep all informed.
Westmont is a great place to relax and stay healthy. While the Village of Westmont is five square miles and home to about 25,000 residents, our Westmont Park District offers over 150 acres of park property throughout the Village for use by all ages all year round. Westmont also offers three golf courses to help keep us active and enjoying the great outdoors. In addition, in 2020, Westmont welcomed the brand new FMC Natatorium at Ty Warner Park, an Olympic-caliber swimming facility for all ages.
Westmont also benefits greatly from our high-performance local community school districts serving our children from preschool through post-high school levels. In support of our schools, our Westmont Public Library is second to none, offering a fully updated facility, latest technology, fantastic staff and programming for all ages. Enjoy this community resource; pay them a visit soon to experience firsthand our Westmont Public Library.
Westmont offers our residents and guests a great range of shopping and dining experiences. With our 90-plus restaurants, everyone can dine around the world with so many types of menus available daily. It is the reason that I always remind everyone to shop, dine and discover Westmont for your pleasure and to keep our community strong and vibrant by shopping local.
In closing, Westmont is truly a family-focused community with so much to offer our residents and guests. Westmont enjoys hosting many community-wide events held throughout the year. We thank our many great volunteers that share their time, skills and knowledge to make events like our Taste of Westmont, Holly Days, Red, White and BBQ, summer car shows, two 5K races and so much more possible for everyone to enjoy. In 2021, everyone is looking forward to seeing more of everyone out and about to enjoy the community and everything Westmont offers. On behalf of the Village Board of Trustees and our staff, we are so glad you are here in Westmont!
Sincerely,
