Will County residents, businesses, and private nonprofit organizations impacted by recent severe weather are now eligible for low-interest federal disaster loans following the July 27 storms that impacted the region. Local, state, and federal agencies will be visible in various communities over the next week as recovery and assessment efforts continue from the August 11 severe weather.

Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant today delivered her annual State of the County and Budget address at the August meeting of the Will County Board, spotlighting accomplishments across county offices that have positively impacted residents. Bertino-Tarrant proposed a Fiscal Year 2027 Annual Budget that leverages efficiencies to hold the line on taxes, with no increases in property taxes.

Following a series of storms that have resulted in damage and power outages in several communities, the Will County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is spotlighting recovery resources available to residents. These include the 2-1-1 information hotline, a Multi-Agency Resource Center, and a Food Distribution Event.

This summer, Will County welcomed a talented group of high school and college interns who gained hands-on experience across several departments. These included County Executive Office, Animal Protective Services, the Division of Transportation, the Community Mental Health Board, and ICT. Working alongside county staff, elected officials, and community partners, the interns developed professional skills, explored career paths, and made meaningful contributions to county initiatives.
