Elk Grove Township Expands Range of Services

A free employment seminar, DMV driver services, and new mental health services are coming in March.

In a response to community needs, Elk Grove Township will be introducing three new services for Township residents in March. A mobile Secretary of State Unit will be at the Township building, 600 Landmeier Road in Elk Grove Village, on Tuesday, March 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The unit will allow residents to obtain new driver’s licenses and State ID cards or to renew, replace or correct current licenses and IDs. This service will allow residents to avoid the long wait lines often experienced at DMV offices. In addition, the mobile unit will have vehicle stickers available.

Also coming in March will be a free employment seminar which will take place at the Township offices on Wednesday, March 30 from 10:30 a.m. to noon. The seminar will provide assistance for residents in need of a job or seeking a career change. Finally, a new partnership with the Josselyn Center to enhance Township mental health services will soon be announced. This partnership will allow the Township to provide residents with more timely psychiatric services.

“Our priority is to listen to our residents and ensure they are receiving the assistance they need to manage their lives and care for their families,” said Elk Grove Township Supervisor George Busse. “We are excited about the new services we will be offering. However, it’s important that residents remember the plethora of valuable services the Township is already providing, which range from youth and senior services to adult and family counseling, as well as taxpayer assistance.”

Some of the other Township services available to all residents include:
