Mayor James J. Sexton

 It is hard to believe that 2011 has come and gone.  This has been both a trying and rewarding year on many levels.  As the Mayor, I continue to proudly serve one of the finest villages comprised of the most wonderful people one could meet.  Together we continue to meet the economic challenges and are committed to the growth of our Village.  As the economic climate struggles to correct itself, I can proudly say that with much hard work and sacrifice, our Village has remained fiscally responsible.  None of us have gone without making sacrifices and the Village Administration is no different.  I am proud of how our employees have risen to the occasion and continue to provide our residents with all the necessary services.

Our Village has embraced the much anticipated Pete's Fresh Market.  They opened with a great response and sales remain strong.  Their storefront is a great enhancement to 95th Street.   Our new Senior Center is coming along beautifully and being enjoyed by our senior residents. 

Together we have enjoyed many events throughout the year enhancing our community spirit.  We celebrated the 4th of July tradition with a fantastic parade, proudly led by our military and their families.  The tradition continued with a fireworks display as our residents gathered with family, friends and neighbors hosting block parties and barbeques.  It's always one of our favorite days in the Village.  Day in the Park and the 5k Run were well attended and enjoyed by all as well as the Dickens Christmas Event and our Annual Hot Rod Classic Car Show.

My door remains open for any questions or ideas you may have.  I wish everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.  As always, "Keep the Green in Evergreen".

Honored to Serve,

James J. Sexton
Mayor
