Flood Damage Assessment Underway

On Monday, Gov. Pat Quinn declared 12 counties -- including DuPage -- disaster areas due to flooding.

State officials will now collect data in order to do a damage assessment in the hopes that federal assistance may be made available through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA.)

Residents who were impacted by the flooding are encouraged help with the damage assessment. Data collection questionnaires are available at Village Hall, and can be downloaded here.  Please forward this questionnaire to residents you know who may have been impacted.

Questionnaires should be returned to the Village of Addison Community Development Department by 8 a.m., Monday, Aug. 2 to help with the damage assessment.

For questions, contact Community Development at 630-693-7530.

Village eNewsletter Coming in October

The Village of Addison has announced that it will no longer publish the Spotlight on Addison Community Newsletter after the Back to School (August/September) 2010 issue.  This decision was reached collectively amongst the eight agencies that publish the newsletter, as a cost saving measure.

The Village will, however, debut an electronic newsletter the following month.  The new eNewsletter will be published monthly, and will contain the same information that had been included in the Village's portion of Spotlight.

Residents who are signed up to receive e-mail updates from the Village already, will automatically begin receiving the eNewsletter in October.  Residents who wish to sign up, may do so here.  Remember that your e-mail address will never be shared with any outside agency, and you can ask to be removed from the e-mail list at any time.
