Thank you, Skokie!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to learn about the referendum, ask questions, share feedback, and make their voices heard at the ballot box. We are grateful for your support and excited about the opportunity to create new spaces and expand recreational opportunities that will bring people together for generations to come.

Your investment in Skokie's future will help make these improvements possible!

As we move forward, we are working to finalize design plans and will continue to share updates on project timelines and construction. Follow along on our website to stay informed as these exciting projects take shape.
