Welcome to Plainfield, Will County's Oldest Community

In the interest of serving you better... we are constantly trying to improve this site

As president of the Village of Plainfield, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Will County's oldest community. We are located in one of the fastest growing counties in Illinois. Because of our convenient location and easy accessibility to major highways, airports, and train stations, many businesses and residents are looking to make Plainfield their new home.

Our community strives to keep it's "small town" flavor while meeting the demands of growth. More and more people are discovering what many life-long residents already know - that Plainfield is one of the best kept secrets in the Chicagoland area. We have an excellent school system, many quaint shops, and pride ourselves on being known as a church community.

This prospectus on Plainfield offers a vast amount of community information, as well as our most up to date demographics. Explore this site and discover what a friendly place Plainfield is to reside in and do business.

Sincerely,

Richard A. Rock
Village President

• Town Center Design Competition
  • The Village of Plainfield, in a joint effort with the Plainfield Township Park District and a local developer, sponsored a national design competition for the expansion of the Village Center on approximately 300 acres of mostly undeveloped land. While the primary challenge was one of architecture and design, issues of landscape architecture and planning were also addressed. The thrust of the competition was to provide a high quality public environment that is compatible with and supports the existing character of Plainfield.

  • • This web site is sponsored by the Friends of the Rookery, a community group that was recently successful in acquiring an environmentally sensitive property adjacent to the rookery, one of the largest nesting areas for endangered birds in the state. Congratulations! The property was otherwise subject to a residential development proposal. Their web site offers information about the rookery as well as their fundraising efforts.
  • LincolnNet. The LincolnNet provides a regional network for sharing information and provides a comprehensive organizational framework for a wide variety of information related to the region. In particular, look here for links to other communities and organizations in the region.
