| Frankfort, Illinois is a community with historic charm
at the crossroads of the southwest suburbs. In Frankfort, you will find a
balance between growth in development and preservation of our quality rural
and rustic environment. A community of over 14,000, Frankfort has
seen residential home values skyrocket as residents throughout the region
realize that Frankfort's short commute to Chicago and other employment
areas, combined with its agricultural roots, make Frankfort the leading
choice in the southwest suburbs and Will County. Even with this rapid
growth, Frankfort strives to preserve its 1890's prairie town charm.
Village planners and the Board continue to search for ways to balance
much needed commercial/industrial growth with the country charm that first
attracted most residents. As the community's future unfolds over the coming
years, Frankfort will be facing a variety of new challenges. New roads,
water and sewer systems, plus the very real possibility of a major airport
near Peotone, are among the infrastructure improvements to be made that will
impact the Village. |
