Ribbon Cutting Ceremony For New Ontarioville Plaza

On June 23, 2021, Village President Rodney S. Craig and the Hanover Park Village Board were pleased to celebrate and announce the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the Ontarioville Plaza as part of the new Village Center. The event was held on-site at the Ontarioville Plaza and featured welcoming remarks by Village President Rodney S. Craig and comments by members of staff and the design team responsible for the project.


The goal of the project is to re-imagine the future of the Village Center to diversify land uses with a variety of new housing types, as well as enhanced retail, public spaces and entertainment uses. The project is intended to ‘jump-start’ development interest, in addition to providing tangible/visible improvements.  Creating an active, vibrant Village Center was a key goal of the plans. A central tenet to reinvigorating this area was the establishment of a well-connected public open space system linking the Ontarioville Park to a beautiful new Ontarioville Plaza so that these open spaces become the hubs of activity for day to day gathering and community-wide events.
 
The following Village Center Streetscape improvements were installed:

  • The new public plaza and park for community events, new sidewalks for better pedestrian connections, new landscaping, lighting, and ‘streetscape’ for pedestrian comfort have all been installed. 
  • The main collector road, Ontarioville/Devon has been reconstructed. 
  • A new public parking lot has been installed following acquisition and demolition of a vacant building.
  • The burial of overhead wires was completed.  

New landscaping, brick pavers, seat walls, stage area, decorative Tivoli lighting and an interactive water feature are ready to welcome Hanover Park families and friends! A new public parking lot, a redesigned park with gazebo, sidewalks and several features for ‘pedestrian comfort’ offer opportunities for families to gather in the heart of our community.
 
The Village of Hanover Park encourages all members of the community and the public to visit and enjoy this new addition to Hanover Park.

We would like your opinions!

The Village of Hanover Park has contracted with the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University to conduct a survey of residents. The survey will determine residents’ opinions of living in the Village, Village government provided services, and the areas the Village government should focus their attention on in the next three years. The findings of the survey will help the Village government plan for the future.


If your household is one of the limited number of households that is randomly selected to participate, please complete the survey. Your responses to the survey are very important to us.  Your responses will be confidential.  All information provided will be reported in summary form only.  No information will be reported that will identify individual survey respondents.

Thank you for your participation.

2021 Roadway Resurfacing Begins! 


The Village of Hanover Park’s Road resurfacing program is scheduled to start Monday June 28!  We are starting with sidewalk and curb and gutter removal which will allow for ADA accessibility upgrades and drainage improvements.  Residents whose street is part of the resurfacing project were sent notification detailing what to expect during construction. 


With any construction project, residents on the affected streets may notice colored flags in the parkway along their street and paint marks along curb and sidewalk.  We ask residents to leave the flags in place during construction as these mark underground utilities for the contractor.  For the duration of the project, residents will retain access to their street and driveway though minor delays may occur.  If you have any questions regarding construction activities, please contact Public Works for additional information at 630-823-5700.

Outdoor Warning Sirens


The siren activation system for Hanover Park is maintained at the DuComm dispatching center and is an outdoor warning system.

Sirens are for OUTDOOR warning purposes and are not meant to be heard indoors. 

An "all clear" tone is not utilized. If you believe you have spotted a funnel cloud, call 911 immediately. At that time, a weather spotter will be assigned to the area to confirm the sighting, and the siren will be activated.
