Good morning, Naperville.

Last Wednesday, 75 residents gathered at Stevenson Hall inside North Central College to kick off the 'A Seat for Everyone: Naperville Comes Together' event.

Organizers planned small group discussions—fostering diverse connections—and encouraged further meetings over the coming year.

Naperville couple Shawn and Tina Griffin will travel to Las Terrenas in two weeks while on their summer vacation and 10th anniversary trip, carrying donated baseball gear including bats, helmets, gloves + shoes to support local youth in underserved communities.

Following Fourth of July storms, the DuPage River is receding but Naperville Park District has closed riverwalk sidewalks and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources restricts boating until safety is confirmed — officials urge caution.

Illinois health officials report higher-than-average cyclosporiasis cases and urge local residents to wash produce thoroughly & follow safety steps as CDC and state partners investigate a nationwide rise in infections.

Downtown redevelopment is underway as john greene Real Estate plans a new three-story office building on the corner of Main Street + Aurora.

The project will replace two vacant structures with 24,850 sqft of modern office space, enhanced landscaping, and 25 parking spaces while city review is ongoing.
