Homer Township Seeks Community Input For Morris Park Improvements

HOMER GLEN, IL — Homer Township is seeking community input for improvements at Morris Park. The park is located east of Gougar Road along 163rd Street, west of Cedar Road.

According to the Township website, the township board is working with Upland Design to develop a master plan for the site. The township has created a survey for residents to submit input, which can be filled out online until Feb. 28.

"We are extremely excited that this long awaited project is now underway."
