plan,” she says. “Whether it is roads, water systems, or economic development, planning is essential.” The village is looking ahead to a community-wide recognition in 2026 to mark Zip Code Day on June 5, celebrating the 60526 ZIP code that uniquely identifies La Grange Park and the shared sense of place it represents. “It is a chance to reflect on what makes La Grange Park special,” Cedillo explains. Throughout every project, the village remains committed to honoring its history. “We develop with our past in mind,” Cedillo says.“That sense of identity matters deeply to our residents, especially those who return to raise their families here.” In La Grange Park, progress is measured not only by new projects but also by the strength of relationships among residents, businesses, and the local government. It is that shared commitment that ensures this small village continues to thrive as one of the region’s most quietly exceptional communities.
