In recent decades we’ve faced housing booms, recessions, and COVID-19 –throughout which the Chamber has continued to help lead our business community to recovery and sometimes fresh starts.

I am excited and honored to be taking over as the Superintendent of Coal City Community Unit School District #1.

“I am so excited to be able to work with United Way this summer,” said Lena Wickens. “I am grateful to be working with such an amazing organization and to be gaining this experience before I finish school.”

What a start to summer in the City of Morris! In the past month, special events brought an estimated 25,000 people to enjoy our community.

You may have seen some work happening at the Chamber’s old train depot on Liberty Street in Morris. While it is not major construction – work on a 122-year-old building is often an undertaking.

Since the City’s Business Development Department was established in January, we have been focused on initiatives to enhance the quality of life for residents, draw visitors to enjoy our community, and build the Morris brand- setting the stage for a strong future.

Part of our strategic plan at Morris Community High School involves taking a thorough look at our utilization of space and how we can improve our campus

It’s finally here, Family Fest 2022 is this weekend! The Channahon Minooka Chamber and the Grundy County Chamber are thrilled to bring this event again this year for free to the community thanks to presenting sponsor CPV Three Rivers Energy Center.

United Way of Grundy County launched the 2-1-1 service for Grundy County in August 2021 to help streamline access to health and human services that are available in our communities.
