On Saturday, July 16th, Cook County Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar joined Brookfield Mayor Michael Garvey, Brookfield’s Board of Trustees, and residents for the ribbon cutting of the newly renovated Candy Cane Park.  Candy Cane Park is located at 9120 29th Street in Brookfield, Illinois. This project represents the intersection of everything elected officials do in the communities they serve. By getting federal, state and county money to municipalities like Brookfield, towns can embark on these public projects. These projects must center residents, bringing communities together in safe and responsible ways. Fifty percent of the project was funded through the OSLAD (Open Space Land Acquisition and Development) grant program, with support from elected representatives.
