PHASE II OF HEALTH SERVICES NEEDS ASSESSMENT | |
In 2024, the Village of Schaumburg successfully completed Phase I of its Health Services Needs Assessment (HSNA). This phase focused on understanding the community's health needs and evaluating existing services and infrastructure. Resources and methodology from Phase I can be found on the village’s website.
In April 2024, the Village Board directed staff to initiate Phase II of the HSNA. This phase involves the creation of a Comprehensive Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), which will detail actionable items to enhance health services in Schaumburg and address service gaps identified in Phase I. The plan will also identify partner agencies to assist in achieving these priorities.
Community input is crucial for this phase, and as a result, the village is seeking resident feedback on health priorities through the village’s engagement platform, Engage Schaumburg. Visit the website to complete the survey and contribute to the improvement plan. For questions, contact Andrew Buckwinkler or dial 311 in Schaumburg.
| CELEBRATING NATIONAL FARMERS MARKET WEEK | |
At the July 23 Village Board meeting, Village President Tom Dailly proclaimed Aug. 4-10 as National Farmers Market Week in Schaumburg. Farmers Markets play a key role in developing local and regional food systems that support the sustainability of family farms and help meet consumer demands for a variety of fresh, affordable and healthful products. Shopping your local market also helps keep your dollars in the community and benefits small growers and food producers.
To celebrate National Farmers Market Week, the Aug. 9 Schaumburg Farmers Market will feature food focused art activities and programming including veggie printmaking with local art teacher Adelite, the Schaumburg Library, Schaumburg Township Historical Society and Schaumburg Township. Patrons can also pick up a Village of Schaumburg canvas tote, while supplies last.
You can shop the Schaumburg Farmers Market between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. every Friday in Town Square. As a friendly reminder, pets, scooters, skateboards, roller skates, and bicycles are not permitted in the market. For more information on Schaumburg's Farmers Market, visit the website.

WATER TOWER IMPROVEMENTS BEGIN | |
Work has recently started on improvements to the elevated water tank located at 1485 S. Rodenburg Rd. The project has various stages that will take months to complete. Upgrades include a mixer inside the bowl of the tank, which will help the Village of Schaumburg continue to provide high-quality water. Most of the work is currently being done inside the tank. This includes adding a new doorway, upgrading the piping, and replacing many essential parts.
The hangers for a curtain have been installed on the outside of the tank, and in the coming weeks, the curtain will go up to help contain debris and water within the project area. The tank will be sandblasted to remove all the paint and then primer will be added to protect the metal. Once the sandblasting and primer coat are complete, the tank will be painted white, and a new logo will be installed. For more information on this capital improvement project, dial 311 in the village.
| FINAL CHANCE TO SEE ALL SHOOK UP PERFORMANCES | |
Schaumburg Summer Theatre’s production of All Shook Up runs for its final weekend August 2-4 at the Al Larson Prairie Center for the Arts.
Featuring the talents of high school and college students, Schaumburg Summer Theatre’s 34th annual production follows a small Midwestern town that is thrown into a frenzy with the arrival of Chad, a good-looking, motorcycle-riding roustabout, who rides from town to town with a guitar on his back, blue suede shoes on his feet, and a song in his heart.
Loosely based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, All Shook Up features dynamic arrangements of 25 timeless Elvis Presley hits, including "Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock," "Don't be Cruel," and more.
Performances of All Shook Up will take place at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2, 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4. For more information and to purchase tickets ($28 / $24 seniors and students), visit the website or call (847) 895-3600.
