A Message from Commissioner Aguilar

Representing the City of Berwyn as your Cook County Commissioner has been an honor. I am so proud of the collaboration between my office, Berwyn city officials, and Berwyn residents that has resulted in the continued and increased investment into the Berwyn community, allowing residents to access everything Berwyn has to offer.

Since taking the position of your County Commissioner in April of 2020, I set out to learn more about what was important to my constituents in Berwyn, while building bridges between government agencies and community organizations to solve any future problems we may face.

Berwyn has been at the intersection of all I have done. Berwyn became one of Cook County’s 70 over 70 cities, with over 70% of residents receiving the COVID-19 vaccine by December of 2021. I know our testing, PPE distribution, and vaccine events made a difference. Protecting the health and well-being of our residents is always our first priority.

During my term, The City of Berwyn also received major influxes of funding. This broke down into three major categories: The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), Invest in Cook, and small business grants. Nearly $32 Million was distributed to Berwyn through ARPA, over 3% of the total funds distributed to the county. We were able to distribute $1.16 million in Backto-Business funding through Illinois’ Back-to-Business Grant Program. Berwyn was also awarded $88,800 in funds for improvements to the 26th Street and Ridgeland Avenue corridors. I will never stop working to get Berwyn the funding and resources they need to ensure residents live full and healthy lives.

Thank you to the citizens of Berwyn for letting me represent them. I am so proud of what we have accomplished and look forward to working together to bring more investment and resources to Berwyn, one of the true gems in the 16th District. Sincerely, Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar. 16th District Cook County Commissioner VOTING INFORMATION
