If you are not already subscribed to this website, please enter your email in the “follow” section, which is located in the sidebar (for desktop uses) and footer (for mobile users). You’ll receive an email confirmation, which you must accept. From there, important posts are sent directly to your inbox.
Website Posts: Moving forward, we will continue to post items to the homepage of the project website: www.parkridgewonderful.com. Every news post shown on the homepage is also sent as a direct email notification to our website subscribers.
Facebook Notifications: Project updates are also being posted to the Park Ridge Wonderful Facebook Page – click here – so be sure to follow along there too. Both the website and Facebook notifications are in addition to public notices shared by the City.
