Village Of Woodridge

What Village Of Woodridge does

The Village of Woodridge is a Home Rule municipal government in DuPage County, Illinois, incorporated on August 24, 1959 by housing developer Albert Kaufman. Governed by an elected Mayor (Gina Cunningham), six trustees, and a Village Clerk (Joseph Heneghan), with day-to-day operations led by Village Administrator Al Stonitsch, the Village serves a residential and commercial population within a defined geographic boundary and operates as a public governmental body rather than a commercial enterprise.

The Village delivers a full suite of municipal services through structured departments including Police (overseen by a Board of Police Commissioners), Community Development (building permits, code enforcement, planning and zoning, economic development, GIS), Finance (budgeting, water billing, purchasing, payroll), Public Works (water, sanitary and storm sewer, street maintenance, forestry, mosquito abatement), Administration, Village Clerk's Office, and Human Resources. Its core technology footprint centers on a GIS system operated through the GIS Consortium — a 39-member cooperative of Chicago-area municipalities sharing geospatial resources, staffing, and technology — powering public-facing tools such as the Community Portal Property Search Application and ArcGIS-based Interactive Story Maps for development projects, flood hazards, and solar installations. The Village's web presence is built on the Revize government website platform.

Revenue mechanics are derived from property taxes (with self-imposed tax caps voted four of the last five years), sales tax, water billing (usage-based, monthly), refuse collection (flat-rate subscription via Groot Industries under a five-year contract effective September 2024), permit and license fees, and intergovernmental transfers. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts serve as a redevelopment tool, with the new 75th Street Corridor TIF District approved February 5, 2026 and a major redevelopment MOU with Kensington Development Partners approved May 21, 2026 for the Zigfield Troy Golf Course site. The Village markets itself as a pro-business, fiscally disciplined community with GFOA financial reporting and budget awards, EPA Green Power Partner and SolSmart designations, and a strategic location at the I-355/I-55 interchange.
