RSVP: Trip to Pesche's - June 6th

Following our trip to JB Metal Works, residents suggested a trip to Pesche's for our next Des Plaines 101 event.  Ask and you shall receive!

Since 1924, Pesche's has grown with Des Plaines.  Join us for some history, a complete tour of the expansive facility, "behind the scenes" access, and discussion with owner Chris Pesche.  Following the visit, we will hold our regular 3rd Ward Meeting.  

Monthly 3rd Ward Meeting & Pesche's Visit
Wednesday, June 6th (FIRST Wednesday this month!)
7pm - Pesche's Flowers - 170 S River Road

Pesches, TIF 6, & Warehouse Direct

Just a few updates from this week's meeting.  Pesches petitioned for and received approval for an electronic sign to replace their traditional sign on River Road.  This new sign will actually be smaller than the existing sign. 

TIF 6 and The Parking Spot development is picking up steam. (my last post on the topic)  The Council approved the preliminary planned unit development (PUD) agreement.  The final details are being hammered out before the final PUD agreement is brought back.  I'm ready to turn this liability around. 

We received word that Warehouse Direct has officially established their business in Des Plaines (May 1) and they'll soon be totally moved into the new facility (June 1).  I'm excited to welcome this business to town.  New jobs and new revenue are a huge win - great job economic development team!
