How Can We Help You?

Is the Village involved in any lobbying?

At the present time, the Village of Hinsdale does not engage any specific lobbying service or firm.

The Village is involved in membership organizations that engage in lobbying efforts on behalf of their municipal members. Following is a list of organizations of which the Village has been a member over the past five years.

2019
On November 5, 2019 the Village Board approved a contract with JLD Consulting Group, LLC to perform lobbying services related to the Tollway expansion project.  Since 2016, the Village has been impacted by the Tollway expansion project.  This is due to the physical changes and impact to our residents and parks through the construction, but also, the very real loss of revenue when the Tollway Oasis is removed for the widening.  The Oasis will not be replaced in its current form, rather the Village has an agreement with the Tollway allowing the Village to redevelop the Oasis property.  This is extremely important for the Village as the Oasis is one of the largest revenue sources for the Village.  The success of the Oasis directly impacts the operating budget of the Village.  The continued use of a lobbyist is needed to provide continual monitoring of legislative and other threats and to champion the Hinsdale position related to the expansion to key statewide leaders and those leaders within the Tollway Authority.
