Please Check on Elderly or High-Risk Neighbors

Residents are strongly encouraged to check on elderly neighbors, as well as those who are high risk for contracting COVID-19. These include individuals with compromised immune systems, and those who have diseases such as cancer, diabetes and others that decrease the bodies defenses against germs. HOA presidents are encouraged to reach out to check on the welfare of residents who are members of your HOA via email or phone - and especially those who may live alone.

Help the Community by Completing the
U.S. Census!

Residents are reminded to participate in the U.S. Census. Due to the governor's order, many of us are spending more time at home lately - which provides additional time to complete the U.S. Census. Please remember that completing the census is extremely important for the Village of Long Grove, because it determines the level of financial and other resources that will be allocated to the Village for the next ten years.
