Last Friday, President Obama declared Will County and ten other Illinois counties a federal disaster area. The declaration makes assistance available to residents, businesses, and farmers. Individuals seeking assistance may do so by contacting FEMA at 800-621-FEMA or online at www.disasterassistance.gov. Residents and business owners who file an application may trigger an on-site inspection by claims inspectors contracted by FEMA.

On April 10 and 11, 2013 the City had two homes burglarized between noon and midnight.  The unknown offenders kicked in the front door and went through the bedrooms taking jewelry and leaving behind bigger electronic items in both homes. There are no suspects at this time.  Area pawn shops, cash for gold and other similar stores have been contacted but none of the jewelry has surfaced.

Anyone with information about these incident please contact the Crest Hill Police Department, Detective Jason Opiola at 815-741-5115.

Parents of children of Richland School District 88A in grades 5-8 

As a result of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, your child can receive extra help in the approved subject areas.  You can receive this free tutoring because your child’s school is in its second year or later of school improvement (the school has not made adequate yearly progress on state tests for at least three years), and your family meets the income limits under the law. 

If your child has qualified for free or reduced lunch and you are interested in this program, packets may be picked up at the Richland District 88A office at 1919 Caton Farm Road in Crest Hill. 

For more information regarding this program, please contact Ms. Medina at 815-744-7288 ext. 2212.

Created through legislation recently signed by the Governor, POWER (Providing Opportunities for Work through Education and Resources) teaches business owners about the Illinois certification and procurement process, provides counseling and guidance from leading executives, and alerts members of state contract opportunities.  It was created to expand the state’s contractor network while helping our small and minority-owned businesses thrive.

POWER recognizes that no two businesses are the same, and adapts to address individual needs. Our counselors form relationships with business owners and tailor plans that put companies in the best position to succeed. By partnering with experienced private sector executives from SCORE Chicago, POWER is a one-stop shop for support and information to grow and enhance businesses.

Given today’s economic challenges, there is no better time to launch this important initiative – and I am excited about the possibilities. Please take the time to check out POWER, and do not hesitate to contact us with questions, or to enroll, at 312-814-5920 or illinoiscomptroller.com.

Warning to All Crest Hill Residents

There is a nationwide scam that is often referred to as "Obama Will Pay Your Bills" and it has hit the Joliet area. Residents are being asked to hand over their social security information in exchange for a bank routing number and account number for a Federal program that will pay your water bill. This program that promises to pay utility or other bills does not exist.

Residents are reminded to never forward private information, such as social security numbers, in response to random e-mails and other unknown requesters. This scam appears to pay your water bill, but the payments are eventually rejected and the victim is left with an unpaid bill and their sensitive private information has been compromised. City of Crest Hill water customers are always encouraged to safeguard their private information.
