Special Announcements and Notices:

The bond proposal on the November 2024 election passed by an overwhelming majority 

of 62% v 35% . A formal celebration reception is in the works for early 2025, and invitations will be mailed out, or hand delivered, to all residents some time in January.  

As announced in the Fall newsletter, Google Fiber is coming to the Village of Oakwood Park. 

Installation is currently underway and residents should prepare for some minor traffic delays on and around 61st Terrace over the first couple weeks in December, and until installation is complete. 

We encourage residents to go to the Google Fiber website https://fiber.google.com/fiber-internet-near-me/ and enter their address to get notified when their specific street is active, and to get pricing details. 

*Update 1/08/25 - Due to weather conditions, Google has estimated that our installation will be completed in February which means service is estimated to be available in March. 

We will continue posting updates here as we get them.

For non-emergencies, please email the village directly villageofoakwoodpark@gmail.com or send a message through the "Drop us a Line" box on our homepage. Responses will be delayed throughout December while the board is on recess, and we will resume regular operating hours in January 2025.
