Our Mission

The Mission of the Action Party is to bring our community together to keep Morton Grove a great place to live, work, and raise a family for this and future generations.

 We have a proud record of accomplishments especially during the past 10 years including:

  • The shopping center at Waukegan and Dempster was once a popular destination but had been in decline for many years. When the former owners refused to redevelop the site, the Village convinced them to sell the property to an experienced developer. The Village worked with the new owners to turn the center into a destination of which residents can be proud. The new Sawmill Station is now home to luxury residences, restaurants, stores, and services you told us you wanted.

  • Morton Grove has an exciting collection of popular and award winning restaurants from all over the world that are quickly becoming patron favorites. We have so many diverse restaurants to choose from, there are too many to list. We hope you are visiting your favorites regularly!

    • Millions of dollars in long term savings for both residents and the Village
