Niles was incorporated on August 24, 1899. This summer, Niles celebrated its 125th anniversary with a celebration event at Golf Mill Park (picturedhere) . Thanks to all who came together to celebrate the occasion, and here’s to the next 125 years!

The Village Board approved the Golf Mill Town Center redevelopment agreement at the June 25 Village Board meeting following presentations from Village staff and the Sterling Organization. The Sterling Organization envisions a masterplanned, mixed-use development featuring retail, restaurant, entertainment, medical office, hotel, and recreational uses. Sterling plans to obtain new investors and raise the equity to facilitate the redevelopment, which is expected to begin in 2025.
Nea Maya Real Estate & Development has completed the foundation work on their mixed-use development at 9201 N. Milwaukee.

The ground floor commercial space will be 4,555 sf, split into three retail spaces.
The Village is in the process of purchasing the YMCA property following a number of onsite inspections during the due diligence period. The Village is planning to purchase the YMCA and assemble the property with the Village-owned former Grainger property for redevelopment. The Village has received several inquiries regarding retail, hotel, residential uses, and mixed-use.
K Teriyaki opened in late August at 5948 W. Touhy in the former Al’s Beef location. K Teriyaki became interested in Niles following contact by Village Trustee Dean Strzelecki and Economic Development Director John Melaniphy and the Village’s personal invitation to review sites in the Village.
The former Amici’s Restaurant at 7620 N. Milwaukee Avenue was purchased by Bannos Jr. Real Estate in May. They completed the interior demolition and will soon complete the exterior renovations. Kouklas Restaurant installed their new monument signage and hopes to open in November. Kouklas will be a Greek-inspired restaurant that will feature James Beard Award winning chef Jimmy Bannos Jr.
The owners of Star Nissan initiated construction on their plans to create separate entrances to each of the automobile dealerships at 5733 and 5757 W. Touhy Avenue. The developer plans to create a different customer experience for Nissan customers and Infinity customers. The owners plan a nearly
$6.0-million renovation of the two dealerships. The Niles Village Board approved an economic incentive agreement with Star Nissan and Berman Infinity to rebate sales tax revenues in order to retain both dealerships in Niles.
The Village Board approved a contract with the Village’s TIF consultant to evaluate the boundaries and eligibility of a proposed Southwest Touhy TIF District. The Village plans to prepare a strategy to redevelop a section of Touhy Avenue from Caldwell to Harlem Avenue.

Niles 2040 is the vision for the Village of Niles and its people. This update to the Niles Comprehensive Plan was approved by the Village Board earlier this year. It serves as a road map for creating a resilient, well-designed, livable community that reflects the aspirations and values of its residents. You can visit the 2040 Comprehensive Plan online at www.vniles.com/2040plan.
As an example of Comprehensive Planning in action, Niles Residents recently voiced their preferences for the types of commercial, entertainment, and recreation establishments they desired to see more of in the Village. The top choice among respondents was bars and restaurants. Excitingly, Crosby’s Kitchen has recently opened its doors at 6480 W. Touhy Avenue, and a new Greek restaurant named Kouklas is set to replace the closed Amici restaurant at 7620 N. Milwaukee Avenue.
Please support the efforts of the community by making sure you are regularly picking up dog waste, not feeding
animals, garbage is kept in a sealed container free of holes, and any rat activity is reported to the Village. Please also be aware that some common fall decorations such as corn stalks, hay bales, and pumpkins can be attractive to rats. To obtain a replacement garbage can or lid, please call Groot at (800) 244-1977. To report rat activity, please visit www.vniles.com/1370/Rodent-Control.
Do not forget to apply for your building permits. Call (847) 588-8040 to check whether your projects require a permit before beginning any work. Some of the typical items that require permits include, but are not limited to:
• Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and sewer work
• Sheds, fences and concrete work
• Windows and roofs (new and reroofing)
• Hot water heaters
• Kitchen, bath and basement remodeling.
All rental licenses were renewed and mailed out on September 13. Please be aware that each property is required to undergo an inspection once every three years. Keep an eye on your mailbox for a letter regarding your scheduled inspection. To view what an inspector checks on rental inspections please visit the following page on the Village’s website: https://vniles.com/DocumentCenter/ View/15002/Rental-Checklist.
If you have any questions, please contact the Village’s Community Development Department at (847) 588-8040.
The Village of Niles offers free in-street leaf pick up from October 1 through November 27 according to the following schedule. Dates marked with an asterisk (*) differ from the zone’s typical day of the week, due to a holiday.
1 Monday Oct 7, 14, 21, 28
Nov 4, 9*, 18, 25
2 Friday Oct 4, 11, 18, 25
Nov 1, 8, 15, 22, 27*

Nov 6, 13, 20, 27
5 Tuesday Oct 1, 8, 15, 22, 29

It is a violation of Village code to dump leaves in the street on dates outside the above schedule. Landscape services are responsible for removing leaves and cannot dump leaves in the street. In-street leaf collection ends after the above dates, with no exceptions. Groot also offers a bagged yard waste collection program.
Remember: Grass clippings are NOT allowed in leaf piles in the street, so please do not rake them into the street.
Grass clippings must be placed in yard waste collection bags/containers, or simply be mulched on your lawn.
Branch pickup and yard waste collection also continue through November. Branches must be properly bundled, and yard waste bags or containers must have a yard waste sticker attached (available for purchase at Jewel-Osco stores, Niles Senior Center, and Niles Village Hall).
Soon, Niles Public Works will be getting ready to battle the winter weather. It takes months of planning and preparation to make the snow and ice program the best it can be. When it snows, keep in mind:
• Major roads have priority in snow plow operations, followed by side streets, then cul-de-sacs, dead ends, alleys and parking spaces. Plowing bigger streets first allows traffic to flow better throughout the Village.
• Place garbage and recycling carts on the house side of
the curb, not in the street. Carts in the street obstruct snow removal operations.
• Shovel snow from your driveway towards your right as you’re facing the street. This leaves less snow that plows might push onto your driveway as they approach from your left.
• Do not shovel snow into the streets or alleys. Not only does this create a hazard, but it is illegal.
• Parking is prohibited on streets with posted snow route signs until snow plowing operations have been completed.
This information is available in other languages at: www. vniles.com/snow. You can help Niles Public Works deliver the award-winning snow and ice control you deserve.
Water Service Line Replacement: What You Need to Know!
• Water service lines bring water from the Village’s main line in the street into your home.
• The Village owns the section from the water main to the parkway valve.
• Property owners own the section from the parkway valve to your home’s meter, so it’s important to know what’s on your property.
• Inspect yourself: Lead pipes are usually dull gray and soft to scratch. You can submit your results to www. vniles.com/servicesurvey if you haven’t previously.
• Use our GIS map at www.vniles.com/leadservice to check your property’s water service line material.
• Contact Public Works at (847) 588-7900 with any questions.
Lead in drinking water is a serious concern, and Illinois requires municipalities to inventory service materials under House Bill 3739. Efforts are underway to roll out expanded lead service line replacements so look out for more information in the months to come!

Station #2 8360 W. Dempster Street - (847) 588-6800
The Niles Fire Department (NFD) hosts American Heart Association “Healthcare Provider” and “Heartsaver” CPR Classes at NFD Station 2 throughout the year (pictured above). Furthermore, the Fire Department can send a CPR Instructor offsite to your location for large groups interested in obtaining their CPR certifications. The Heartsaver class is designed for anyone looking to prepare themselves for an emergency that may occur in your everyday setting. This class is ideal for teachers, babysitters, students, or anyone else looking to improve their skills and help ensure those around them remain safe. The Healthcare Provider class is geared towards pre-hospital and in-patient staff who may be called upon to perform high-quality, team-driven CPR in a healthcare setting. Upon completion, participants of both classes will receive a completion card valid for two years. For more information, or to register for one of NFD’s 2024 classes, please call the Fire Department at (847) 588-6800.
Fire Prevention Week
Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9 in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871. This
Keep all decorations away from heat sources including light bulbs, candles, heaters, or anything else that produces heat. Consider illuminating pumpkins with flashlights instead of candles to help reduce the risk of unwanted and unexpected fires.
horrific blaze killed more than 250 people, destroyed more than 17,000 structures, and left more than 100,000 people homeless.
This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is: “Smoke Alarms: Make them Work for You!” This campaign strives to educate everyone about the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home. The Niles Fire Department recommends placing a working smoke alarm in every bedroom, outside every sleeping area (like hallways), and on each level of the home including basements. The Department also recommends testing your smoke alarms monthly and replacing them if they are more than ten years old or if they stop responding when tested.
Similarly, the NFD has a smoke alarm installation program where NFD Firefighters will come to your home and install ten-year sealedbattery smoke alarms FREE of charge. To learn more about the “Be Alarmed” smoke alarm installation program, please call the Niles Fire Department at (847) 588-6800 or email District Chief Guerino at srg@vniles.com.
The Village of Niles allows the use of outdoor fireplaces for recreational fires, but they are subject to conditions and regulations. Please visit www.vniles.com/1462/firepits for a comprehensive look at the rules governing outdoor fire place use.
Above: NFD FirefighterParamedics give back to the community each year at the annual Open House and Pancake Breakfast, part of ongoing efforts to engage with and educate the community.
Thanksgiving is the leading day of the calendar year for home fires involving cooking equipment. While preparing your Thanksgiving meal, please remain in the kitchen while cooking anything on the stovetop and keep any young children at least three feet away from the stove to try and prevent any burns, spills, or other mishaps.
7000 W. Touhy Avenue - (847) 588-6500
As the new school year begins, the Niles Police Department urges all residents to prioritize safety during their commutes. With increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic around schools, it’s vital to remain vigilant. Drivers are reminded to obey school zone speed limits, watch for crossing guards, and never pass a stopped school bus. Parents should encourage children to use designated crosswalks and wear helmets when biking. The Niles Police Department will be increasing patrols in school zones to enforce traffic laws and ensure the safety of students. Let’s work together to keep our community safe this school year.
Let’s talk about skunks! Have you been seeing/smelling them more in Niles this year? Reports of skunks are up this year compared to the past few years. This may have something to do with the emergence of the 17-year cicadas this year and the skunks having a plentiful food source, or it could just be a normal rise in the population. Skunk populations do tend to fluctuate so we may see an increased amount for several years, but then the population will naturally decrease again through disease and overpopulation since skunks do not have many natural predators.
In the meantime, what can we do to coexist with these animals? It is always good to remain vigilant when outside, especially in the early morning and evening. Skunks do not have very good vision but respond well to noise. Keep your dogs from getting sprayed by clapping your hands and talking loudly before letting your dog outside in the backyard. Skunks are not typically quick to spray, but dogs are often sprayed because they tend to run up to a skunk making it react quickly. Skunks are diggers and will burrow underneath sheds, porches, decks, etc. Make sure you have all of these types of areas blocked with a wire mesh screen that also is buried 6 inches into the ground.
If you already have skunks burrowed on your property, a bright light pointed into their den and a radio playing should get them to leave within a few days. If you are wanting to remove the animal(s), you can request a permit from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The IDNR’s website also has a list of nuisance wildlife control operators if you would prefer to hire someone else to remove the animal(s). If you have questions regarding any of this information or for other animal issues, please contact the Niles Police Department at (847) 588-6500 and ask to speak with the Animal Control Officer.
On August 8, the Niles Police Department hosted its 4th Annual Walk and Roll Niles (pictured above and below) Thank you to everyone who joined us for this event and the community partners and local businesses who made it possible. As always, we had a great time meeting with so many people and promoting bicycle and pedestrian safety. At this year’s event, the NPD was also able to raffle off some exciting prizes, including bicycle helmets, gift baskets and gift cards donated by local businesses, and a brand-new Trek Bicycle! We are already looking ahead with excitement to bringing this event back once again in the summer of 2025!
The Niles Police Department invites the community to join us on October 12 for the annual Walk Like MADD event at Wintrust Field in Schaumburg to honor Retired Officer Joseph Paglia, Sergeant Joseph Lazo, and Community Service Officer Michael White, who were tragically killed by an intoxicated driver in 2020. This event, hosted by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), is a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of impaired driving and serves as a call to action to prevent future tragedies. Participants will walk in solidarity to support victims’ families and promote awareness. To learn more about this event, visit walklikemadd.org. Together, we can make a difference.
The Niles Police Department is proud to be participating in the Special Olympics Plane Pull once again this year on October 5. This event challenges teams to participate in a fundraiser and compete to pull a plane across the tarmac, all in support of Special Olympics Illinois. The NPD is a 3-time Plane Pull Public Safety Division Champion and the 2022 Overall Champion. Visit support.soill.org/team/595528 to learn more!

HAVE YOU COMPARED YOUR OPTIONS? You might find a plan that saves you money. Now is the time to compare your current coverage to all your choices for 2025 and select the plan that best meets your needs and budget. Medicare’s Open Enrollment period is October 15–December 7 and gives everyone with Medicare the opportunity to make changes to their prescription drug plans or health plans for coverage beginning January 1, 2025.
Just like your health, Medicare plans can change every year—and your current coverage might be changing. Plus, not all plans have the same benefits and out-of-pocket costs. By comparing all of your options, you could find a plan that offers you better coverage, saves money, or both. For more information, or assistance with reviewing your current plan, please call the Niles Senior Center to schedule an appointment at (847) 588-8420.

Work is underway to develop a new location for the Niles Teen Center! The architectural plans for the new Niles Teen Center have been completed. The next step is for the Village Board to consider approving the funds for the project, and then the interior build-out of the space will go out for public bidding. This project is a close collaboration between all Village Departments, with financial support from state and federal government.
Upcoming events include the Teen Center Fall Dance Party and Glow in the Dark Dodgeball! See the calendar on page 11.
