HOME GOVERNMENT & SERVICES NEW TO MOMENCE EXPLORE MOMENCE COMMUNITY WEBSITES CONTACT US Previous Next WELCOME Mayor Chuck Steele and the City Council would like to welcome you to the City of Momence. Located in eastern Kankakee County, Illinois, and approximately 50 miles south of Chicago, Momence is a quiet, friendly community of 3300 residents, nestled along the Kankakee River. Historic Dixie Highway (Illinois Route 1) is the main north-south thoroughfare through the city. The City was established in 1834, and over the years, many organizations and individuals have worked to maintain its historic architecture - both commercial and residential. We invite you to browse our website, where you will find information about the city's government, including agendas and minutes, financial reports, ordinances, elected officials, forms, and the various departments. Be sure to "Explore Momence" for the variety of events, recreational opportunities, and historic locations within the community.

We invite all to attend City Council Meetings, which are held at 7:30pm on the first and third Mondays of each month at City Hall (105 West Washington Street).

We have much to be grateful for in our community. I hope you all enjoy a wonderful celebration during these days of peace and Thanksgiving. As Momence moves closer and closer to our bicentennial celebration, I would like to ask your help with a project. Momence Vision 2030 is a volunteer-driven effort to develop a strategic plan for the city of Momence. It has been in the process of collecting information in the community for most of 2019. Over the course of 24 meetings, the volunteer team has been collecting and assimilating information from many different entities in the community. They have interviewed representatives of the five taxing bodies, major employers, community organizations and groups and many individuals in Momence. In December and early January all of the entities interviewed will reconvene to review a draft set of recommendations for key items to be addressed in Momence in the next several years. At the same time, citizens on Momence and the surrounding area are asked to visit cityofmomence.com and complete a survey asking their opinions on the issues that have been identified so far. Each of the questions in the survey have been identified as things that need to be addressed in the future in our community. A final plan will be crafted from the edited draft plan and input from the community from the surveys. The final plan will be presented to the community in ward meetings in the first quarter of 2020. Common goals that are a result of a unified plan are critical to securing funding for projects in Momence. Both government and private funders make decisions based on collaboration between all of us working together to execute a master, strategic plan. Vision 2030 will recommend steps that will endeavor to bring our community out of a decades-long period of economic torpor; it will bring us into a position of be able to take part in the commercial growth occurring in Kankakee County. It will address larger interests that supersede individual entities, ensuring concerns such as transportation, utilities, sewage and water treatment and school-to-work issues are addressed. It will emphasize Momence as a unique community with a very distinct identity. WE ARE CONTINUING SIGN-UP FOR BOTH EMAIL DELIVERY OF WATER BILLS AND AUTOMATIC PAYMENT OF WATER BILLS.
