� A Huge Thank You to Our Fairmont Community! �We are beyond grateful for the 35 amazing community members who joined us at our March 13th meeting! Your presence, engagement, and dedication to Fairmont mean everything!
A special thank you to our incredible speakers:
� Jayne Burne, from the City of Joliet, for sharing her continued research on the rich history of the African American community in Joliet and the surrounding areas.
� Alex Zapien, Lockport Township Supervisor, & Katie Gritzuk, Lockport Township Fire Protection District Representative, for providing vital information about the Thriveworks program—a critical mental health resource available to our community. Access to mental health care is more important than ever, and Thriveworks connects individuals with licensed therapists and counselors to help navigate life’s challenges. Whether dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or simply needing someone to talk to, this program is here to support you. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and we encourage everyone to take advantage of this valuable resource.
� Owen Dean, City of Joliet Public Works Utilities Director, & Annmarie Grooms, City of Joliet Public Works Project Engineer, for updating us on the water project, future roadwork, and the 2025 sewer rehabilitation project, while answering important funding questions and easing concerns.
A huge shoutout to "Friends of Lockport" and Lockport Township Trustee Denise Salvino for sponsoring this meeting and providing a fantastic snack table—we truly appreciate your generosity!
Let’s keep the momentum going! Stay connected with us for more updates and mark your calendars for our next meeting on May 8th!
