Village receives AEDO accreditation

The International Economic Development Council has once again recognized the Village of Tinley Park as an Accredited Economic Development Organization (AEDO). This accreditation tells business prospects that Tinley Park is an economic development-focused community that has their best interests in mind.

"This is a great honor that no one else in Illinois and only 70 other economic development organizations in North America have been able to achieve," Tinley Park Mayor Michael Glotz said. "I want to thank our Community Development Department and other key staff members for their professionalism, commitment and technical expertise that made this reaccreditation possible."
