CODE
ENFORCEMENT
The Grant Park Police
Department has the responsibility of enforcing property maintenance and all code violations. They have begun to cite property owners for violations such as unlicensed motor vehicles on the property, accumulation of rubbish or garbage in yards, Motorhomes or travel trailers parked in yards or on property without a village permit. For a full list of property codes consult the International Property
Maintenance Code 2003 and 2006 www.iccsafe.org
The goal behind the code enforcement is simply to ensure that the
village looks as good as it can.
Codes are on the books to provide a safe and pleasant place for everyone in the village to live. Village officials are more interested in compliance with the codes and would prefer not to fine residents.
Caregiver Toolkit for Senior Care

Grant Park Farmers Market Begins July First!
As we begin our Farmers Market on Tuesdays, 4 PM - 7 PM we would like to remind everyone that if no one comes out and BUYS their wares, it will not be a weekly event as is currently planned. The vendors are here as a business opportunity. Please help us make it a success. We don’t want to lose another opportunity to buy for fresh fruits and vegetables right here in town! Stand by for more info coming soon! BUY LOCAL!!!
Grant Park residents are invited to bring their confidential documents to be shredded on Saturday, November 8, 2014. The Grant Park Fire Department will play host for this event which will take place from 10:00AM until noon, rain or shine. “This will help our residents retain their privacy and help prevent identity theft,” said trustee Deb Morgan, who will manage the event.
The information destruction contractor, Mobile Document Destruction, has been retained to provide this service to the residents. This will reduce the time and effort spent on shredding and prevents exposure of the information to parties who should not see it. Mobile Document Destruction is a local business out of Kankakee and was started by Steve Mill. “Some people are even experts at piecing together documents that have been shredded with a small office cross-cut shredder, so even office shredders can't always be relied on to protect your information” he states. MDD’s process ensures documents are shredded completely and pulverized before being removed for recycling so you know that your privacy is being protected.
This is eco-friendly document destruction and shredding. Please make sure that you DO NOT bring cardboard, newspaper or magazines to this event. You can dispose of these items in your regular weekly recycling pickup. This service is for residential confidential documents only. Grant Park looks forward to this opportunity and if demand for this service is there, it will become an annual event.

Village website is back Thank you for your patience while we continue to construct it.

Village Hall

Construction upgrades to road and storm sewers are being done. The storm sewers are
often found just off the
intersections. There are drop offs to accommodate the
culverts that are under the
sidewalks. Make sure to be
careful when turning the
corners. Residents may put out markers to
assist both drivers and snowplows.

SNOW and FIRE
HYDRANTS
The Fire Department asks that in the event we have a significant snowfall and you live near a fire hydrant, they would like your
assistance in clearing 3 feet of space around the hydrant to ensure firemen can access the water hydrant in a timely manner.
