Welcome to Seneca! The "Community With a Plan". Many exciting activities have been planned for 2009. The Seneca Summerfest Committee is working on the 2009 Seneca Shipyard Days from July 8th to July 11th. Our Cruise Night Committee has planned the 2nd annual Seneca Cruise Night for July 10, 2009. The Seneca Park Board has offered a variety of wonderful events including various bus trips as well as the summer farmer's market. These events, as well as many other community events can be found on either the website's event calendar or sign up for monthly electronic newsletter by contacting Village Clerk Therese Russell.
For your convenience, our newly updated website includes the addition of the Village code as well as information on Seneca's Comprehensive Plan which was adopted January 6, 2009. The Comprehensive Plan outlines the goals and objectives of the Village, and the need to direct development and redevelopment efforts to ensure the prosperity of our community.
The Village Council is proud to support the efforts of the Downtown Development Committee who have outlined several goals. During the March 3, 2009 Council meeting, full Council support was given to enlist a volunteer thru the VISTA program (Volunteers in Service to America) who will be working directly with the Seneca Downtown Development Committee to provide information relating to downtown beautification and other various community and economic development efforts.
The Seneca Flood Committee is comprised of community members as well as outside consultants. This committee works together in allieviating various flood issues, financing options and project ideas. Recently, the first committee project was completed, the upgrading of the IL 170 storm sewer project.
Our Village has a variety of people working together to make Seneca a better place. On behalf of the Village Council, I salute the volunteers on all committees and boards within our community for their committee dedication.
Mayor David Spicer
