2022 OP Fall Newsletter

LETTER FROM THE MAYOR

From longtime residents whose families have been here for generations to those new in town, to the businesses that have been here since before I was born to the ones that we just celebrated the grand openings for…each and every one is an important part of what makes our community the welcoming and prosperous environment that it is. Since the day I took my oath of office as the Mayor of Orland Park, I have done my best to promote active community involvement and provide complete transparency to the public. Within the pages of this issue of the Village of Orland Park Newsletter you will find information about upcoming events, programs and projects in Orland Park. We hope that you find it useful and informative. There are many ways to become or remain involved in your community. If you are interested in learning more about the Village and how to get involved, we have many opportunities that might be of interest to you. Learn more about it on page 14 of this publication. As always, if you have questions and/or suggestions, please reach out to any of the Village’s departments directly or visit us online at orlandpark.org.

Dear Orland Park Residents, How is it that summer 2022 has come and gone? It was wonderful to see so many of you out and about at all the numerous Village events and programs over the last few months. It is truly one of my favorite times of the year when Orland Park’s parks and facilities are full of families and fun events are in full swing. Thank you to those who came out to the Taste of Orland Park this year. I’m always taken aback by the community pride and camaraderie that encompasses this event as young and old come together for a great time all weekend long. It was such a pleasure to talk with so many of you over the course of the weekend and enjoy the food, music and activities the Taste of Orland Park provides each and every year to residents and guests. Betty and I are already looking forward to next year’s event! As we approach the fall months, I can’t help but think of how thankful I am to be a resident of this great Village. I, for one, am thankful for the outstanding sense of community we have here in Orland Park.

Mayor Keith Pekau
