Downers Grove Residents Invited to Weigh in on ComEd Service at Town Hall Meeting
Also this week: Organic Farmers' annual Harvest Fest and the Downers Grove Newcomers Club's annual kick-off party.
The village of Downers Grove will host a ComEd Town Hall meeting on Thursday to discuss ongoing issues with the reliability of electricity service within the village.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Public Works Building, 5101 Walnut Ave., and is open to all Downers Grove residents. It will be facilitated by village officials and representatives from ComEd.
Town hall meetings with ComEd have been held the past two years in Downers Grove. Each year, the forums allow the village to president its annual ComEd reliability report, which outlines specific problem areas in ComEd's service.
This year's report is now available on the village's website.
Those who cannot attend the forum are encouraged to send comments or concerns to Downers Grove management analyst Allison Deitch at adeitch@downers.us.
