Summer is one of the best times to experience everything that makes Downers Grove a vibrant destination for residents, visitors, and businesses alike. From nationally recognized hotels and distinctive local restaurants to unique retail shopping opportunities throughout our downtown and commercial corridors, the hospitality sector plays a vital role in supporting our local economy and enhancing the community’s quality of life.

In this issue of SPARK, you’ll learn more about the rich history and continued impact of the iconic Tivoli Theatre, discover investments and developments within our hospitality industry, and explore how these amenities contribute to the community’s appeal for both visitors and employers.

The coming months also bring exciting opportunities to showcase our region. Golf fans from around the world will turn their attention to DuPage County as Medinah Country Club hosts the prestigious President’s Cup, highlighting the area’s ability to welcome world-class events and visitors. Closer to home, we encourage you to Save the Date for the DGEDC Annual Luncheon on October 14, one of our premier opportunities to connect with local businesses and community leaders.

Thank you for being part of the SPARK community and for your continued investment in the businesses, places, and experiences that help make Downers Grove a premier destination to live, work, and visit.

Respectfully,

Bryan Gay
