In fact, the population has nearly tripled since 1977. The exclusively designed and landscaped center encompasses the Village's vision with its fountain, gazebo, open air amphitheater, water features, and lighted walking path. It is also the site of future entertainment and shopping opportunities to further stimulate Carol Stream's steady progress into the next century. To assist the Village in truly making this a community gathering place, the path throughout the Town Center is paved with clay-fired bricks that resist the weathering of time and the elements to maintain their beauty. These decorative tapered brick pavers are available to individuals, families, civic organizations, businesses,vendors and benefactors, for a donation.
Corporate sponsors can also have their company logo inscribed into the bricks.
The bricks are installed in a prominent place at the Town Center to provide a lasting memorial. Proceeds from brick donations will be used to maintain existing landscaping and purchase additional outdoor furniture. For more information, contact the Village Manager's Office, Village of Carol Stream 500 N. Gary Avenue, Carol Stream, IL 60188-1899. Within the Village itself are more than 1.3 million square feet of shopping in 18 distinct shopping areas, including four major shopping centers. It is an independent public governing unit which levies its own tax to provide parks facilities and recreational programs.
