On Tuesday, May 16th, Cook County Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar joined Leyden Township officials to kick-off Commissioner Aguilar’s new Leyden Township satellite office. The event included elected officials, community organizations, and residents from throughout the 16th District.  This “Cook County Open House” was held to promote Commissioner Aguilar’s new office and to highlight the increased constituent services that will be provided to Leyden Township residents.  The event was held at the Carl Fiorito Senior Center in Franklin Park, which will also be the location of the satellite office.  Before the general public arrived at 5pm, Commissioner Aguilar was joined by Leyden Supervisor Rocco Biscaglio and Franklin Park Mayor Barrett Pedersen for a brief press conference, where they highlighted the importance of this new office and the impact of increased constituent services in the area.  This satellite office will administer the same functions as Commissioner Aguilar’s regular office in Lyons, but with an extra emphasis on Leyden Township initiatives.  Residents should expect in-depth constituent services, such as help with their homeowner exemptions, while also receiving updates on county resources.  Residents who wish to learn more about Commissioner Aguilar’s Leyden Township office and its functions are encouraged to reach out to commissionerfrankjaguilar@gmail.com.
