Welcome
Elizabeth Davies has the Passion, Transparency, and Vision
to lead Grayslake
in its next chapter!
I love our town, and if elected Mayor I will build upon our success by supporting our downtown, promoting open space, focusing on diversifying our tax base, and making Grayslake the best place to live in Lake County.
If Elected Elizabeth will Continue her skilled Leadership
Fiscal Responsibility
With 10 years of village board experience and as a math teacher, I know how important it is for the village to have a strong financial foundation. During my time on the board, I have passed only balanced budgets, and worked diligently to maintain the village's debt free status and fully funded police pensions. I have been a strong advocate for the tax payer by taking less than allowed by the tax cap, and I was critical to developing a property tax relief strategy of using 50% of new property for tax reduction.
Investments in Our Community
In my time of service, I am proud to have been able to advocate for many improvements to our village. While this list is by no means comprehensive the following items are just a few that I am proud to have accomplished for the community; Gelatin Park, Village Center Commons with fountain, additional downtown parking, double the holiday lights, road resurfacing and curb and gutter improvements throughout town, completion of our water system with a back-up well and back up generators, storm water management improvements, alley improvements in the downtown, streetscape improvements, improved community gathering spaces like bench islands with flowers, and the promotion of our village center through the Grayslake Village Center site and a staff addition of a Village Center Coordinator.
Investments in Our Environment
Through my time on the village board, we have been a leader for the environment. We have added 40 acres of open space to the village, and worked with developers to secure even more! We have added composting options to our waste removal program, made a huge investment in our tree canopy, planted natives species to improve our ecosystem, cleaned up toxins in unused sites, recognized sustainable businesses, partnered with openlands, created an EV charging partnership, signed the monarch pledge, and added bird city and sol smart designations for the town. The village though small has proudly added a sustainability coordinator, and on top of all of that we have been able to provide electronics recycling for the entire county, being recognized by SWALCO for our work. Work in this area is never done and I will persist on this path!
Creating Vitality in our Community!
My heart is for the community of Grayslake and adding to the vitality of our community. I am happy to proudly promote and support all of our wonderful businesses, events, and citizen accomplishments. One of our greatest assets is the people of our town and if elected Mayor I will work hard to honor you!
