A Message from South Elgin president Steve Ward
"I grew up in Elgin and moved to South Elgin in 1988. At the time there weren’t too many of us, not much to do, and most people saw the Village as the place you cut through between Elgin and St. Charles. Quite a transformation has taken place since then. We are now a destination. People choose to move here. Others travel here for our restaurants and retail. When I talk with other folks who have lived in South Elgin for a long time, we’ll end up talking about all of the amenities, the beautiful parks, and the improvements in the quality of life here in South Elgin. And it keeps getting better. We’re in the midst of terrific business growth on Bowes Road, new housing developments in every corner of the Village, an improving Route 31 corridor, and truly exciting growth in our Village Center. While we can never create a classic, historic downtown, the brand new Panton Mill Park will draw people for concerts, fishing, festivals, and more. It’s not only beautiful, but it will also spark economic development from new restaurants and businesses eager to be part of this new hub. South Elgin is a great place to live, work, and play."
