Western Springs to Hold Public Meeting on Downtown Improvements

The Village of Western Springs is giving residents a chance to share their thoughts and opinions on what they would like to see in the village’s downtown area.

A public workshop will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, May 14, at the Western Springs Village Hall, 740 Hillgrove Ave.

Village Manager Patrick Higgins said at the April 13 Village Board meeting that this is the next phase of a plan to revitalize the downtown area, and the meeting will solicit ideas from both the public and business community and other interested ideas in the village.

The workshop will give residents an update on what is planned for the downtown area, and those in attendance will have a chance to share their ideas on what would make the area better when it comes to businesses, streetscape, and other aspects of the downtown and Tower Green area.
