Dan Gunsteen for Village of Bartlett President
About Me
After four rewarding years of serving as a Trustee for the Village of Bartlett, I am pleased to announce my candidacy for Village of Bartlett President! I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving our village as President, and together, I believe we still have work to do and I’m confident we will achieve these goals for our community.
During my time on the board, we have worked diligently to reduce spending while increasing development throughout our village. We’ve welcomed a variety of new restaurants and stores, including our second grocery store, Aldi, after more than 10 years of having just one other choice. This was the number one item requested four years ago during my trustee campaign, and I’m thrilled to have delivered on that promise.
I am especially proud to share that we have just about completed the development of the final lots in both the Brewster Creek and Blue Heron Business Parks. With these final lots being developed, the TIF has been closed out and remains one of the most successful TIF districts.
Additionally, we have focused on bringing over 300 new homes to Bartlett, making way for new parks and a plan to connect the West side to the East side with new bike paths beneath Route 59. This underpass will add to the miles paths we have completed over the past years.
Throughout all of this, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our community while keeping the cost of living as low as possible for our residents during the inflation that has burdened all of us these past few years.
I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving our wonderful village as President, I believe we still have work to do and I’m confident we will achieve these goals and create even greater things for Bartlett!
Thank you for your support!
