Issues That Matter
Secure our future with vital infrastructure investments
The key to ensuring clean, safe reliable drinking water, to controlling stormwater & flooding, to maintaining and improving streets and sidewalks is to take the time and effort to throughly evaluate, study, plan and fund the work looking at a long 10-yr range. This work is the core of municipal services and long range planning helps control costs, increases grant funding, minimizes disruptions to residents and business.
We are committed to investing wisely in the improvement and maintenance of Lisle's infrastructure.

​Lower property taxes for Lisle Residents
​After 8 years of successfully freezing the property tax levy we have seen the positive impact on Lisle. In that time we have doubled both our reserves and sales tax revenue. Due to this success, we are poised to begin a gradual reduction of the property tax levy to create an even stronger and more robust economic climate to attract high quality businesses and new development.
​
Gradually lowering the property taxes while maintaining excellent municipal services give Lisle residents the tax relief they deserve and need.
Maintain a transparent and accountable government
A transparent and accountable government is vital to building trust between government and its citizen stakeholders. Lisle First has worked, and will continue to work, to expand transparency initiatives and to ensure the residents and taxpayers have a voice in holding government accountable for its actions, its taxation, its spending.
We are committed to the highest standards of government transparency and accountability.
Ensure Lisle continues to be a safe and desirable place to call home
The safety of the Lisle community is our top priority. It vital that we all live without constant fear of crime - the record of our community as one of the safest towns in Illinois is a prime reason why people choose to live, move, shop, and do business here.
We are united in solid support our police and will work tirelessly to ensure Lisle continues to be a safe and desirable place to call home.
Support quality development to increase tax base
Quality development increases and diversifies the Village’s tax base. We will diligently engage with the residents and businesses of Lisle to continue the progress that Lisle has made in promoting and developing a robust and diverse economy. This is an ongoing process of development and redevelopment.
Smart Economic Development drives tax revenue generation which drives funding for the Village budget.
We will continue to be diligent in using Lisle’s land use planning and we will be supportive of the ‘right’ private sector developments. We will use Lisle’s master plan and also understand that the private sector can be creative and thoughtful in implementing appropriate ‘smart’ economic projects.
We will look at ALL of Lisle to drive economic opportunity.
