President DeSimone announced with the announcement of Governor Pritzker’s “Restore Illinois” plan to reopen the state, the Village of Bensenville’s Music in the Park summer concert series and the Fourth of July Liberty Fest celebrations have been cancelled. President DeSimone stated these events traditionally bring large crowds to Bensenville and would violate Governor Pritzker’s new “Restore Illinois” plan until the economy is fully reopened. President DeSimone stated the state is currently in phase 2 of this 5-phase plan. President DeSimone stated this was not an easy decision and one that the Village struggled with knowing how popular they are but we also have to follow the direction from the state and put public safety first.
President DeSimone stated Bensenville remains committed to following all state guidelines, working together to combat COVID-19 and keeping our residents safe and healthy. President DeSimone stated under Governor Pritzker’s Restore Illinois plan, gatherings of more than 50 individuals are prohibited until our region reaches Phase 5. President DeSimone stated Phase 5 requires the availability of a vaccine or highly effective treatment for COVID-19, as well as a sustained elimination of new cases. President DeSimone stated at this point it is reasonable to assume that accomplishing these tasks will take a significant amount of time.
President DeSimone recognized Police Week and thanked all Police for everything they do.
