  • Accessibility Compliance: A resolution was passed to execute an agreement with WT Group AEC, LLC for accessibility practices.

The New Lenox Community Park District Board of Commissioners on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, moved forward with infrastructure upgrades by approving a series of agreements aimed at modernization and accessibility.

The board unanimously passed Resolution #25-14, an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Finance Authority concerning electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.

Additionally, the commissioners approved two resolutions granting Comcast access for work at specific district properties: 901 Country Creek Drive and 520 S. Cedar Road.
