Community: (noun) a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage.

Prairie Park is a thriving example of community. The 13-acre conservation area is the result of a 1995 Village of Frankfort initiative to purchase the property and establish, preserve, protect, and sustain a native prairie area. Featuring a vibrant and diverse ecosystem. Prairie Park includes native prairie, natural plants, a walking path, and fishing pond.

Prairie Park is also a shining example of how Village leadership can work with and support parks and recreational areas without interfering with the existing park district plans or overstepping boundaries. Todd Morgan appreciates and is an expert at developing intergovernmental agency collaborations. And he believes there is always room for improvement.

Thanks to the foresight and wisdom of those who came before us, Frankfort residents and visitors have a wonderful opportunity to experience prairie life, including:

restoration and creation of additional native prairie area, wetlands, wet prairie and rocky stream;
creation of wildlife habitat and a passive recreational area;
application of sound resource management techniques and best management practices for storm water treatment; and
promotion of environmental education.

“I always, always knew you had the highest standards for us and the Village and for the downtown and all the development that came along, and you would not bend on those standards. You wanted to keep Frankfort to be the jewel that it is and not let it become just another suburb in this area. We always need someone to be our conscience, and you did wonderfully at that. It was a pleasure to work with you.”

— former Frankfort Village Trustee Cindy Heath

The Time is Always Right for Community Involvement

The Village of Frankfort’s strongest asset is the breadth of expertise and wisdom its citizens offer. Yet that strength is often overlooked, underutilized, or ignored altogether.

Todd Morgan wholeheartedly believes that the ideal Village Board is an open and visible body — to be engaged with and accountable to all residents. That puts the onus on you, the voter. It is imperative you support, vote for, and seat the very finest candidates available. People like Todd Morgan, who act not of their own accord but under the authority vested in them by you and the Frankfort community.
