County Newsletter Aims to Keep Residents Connected and County Government Transparent
Residents Can Opt Out and Receive Electronic Newsletter
Last year, the Board sent its first newsletter to all county residents. To keep residents informed and county government transparent, the Lake County Board will mail another countywide newsletter this summer. In order to reduce costs, this year's publication will be half the size of last year's, black and white instead of color, and printed in-house. 
 
The Board recognizes that this mailing means investing tax dollars, but also recognizes the importance of providing information directly to residents. You can choose to opt out of receiving a mailed newsletter and receive an electronic version by sending your name and address to communications@lakecountyil.gov.
 
Also, please tell us what information you would like to see in the newsletter by completing a short survey.
