There is a lot to showcase and be proud of; the Village of Skokie is strong and vibrant, undergoing a renaissance unique to established communities in the Chicagoland area. We owe this growth and economic resurgence to many factors including the stability of the business community and the vision of our Village management and elected officials. If you drive up and down our streets, they are well maintained centers of activity. Our school districts are diverse centers of academic excellence. We have an award winning Library system, Police Department and Fire Department. The Skokie Park District totals 49 public facilities which encompass more than 250 acres of parkland, miles of bicycle paths and dozens of other special amenities that make the District a gem in the community.

The Village of Skokie has a solid industrial, manufacturing and technology presence, along with a retail mix which draws people into the community from throughout the metropolitan area. This strong business presence and economic vitality contributes to the quality of life in the Village of Skokie and the many activities, village services and public events that we offer our residents.
