Newly Designed Website
The Village of Bloomingdale is excited to announce the redesign of its website, completed in August. Our goal with the fresh look and functionality of the website is to provide our Village residents and visitors an easy way to access information. The site features an updated look and a more organized menu navigation structure. The redesigned website also contains a language translation pop-out menu that facilitates interpretation of over 100 languages by clicking the "Select Language" option on the bottom right corner.
