BOLINGBROOK – State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel will conduct traveling office hours at the Fountaindale Public Library on Tuesday, Feb. 24 so residents can get their questions answered and give feedback.
“I always enjoy meeting with local residents for traveling office hours and learning what their needs and concerns are,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “Traveling office hours are also a way for my office to give back to our community and assist residents.”
CREST HILL – Thanks to strong support from State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel, Plainfield Park District received a total of $600,000 from the Open Space Land Acquisition and Development grant to help continue ongoing improvements.
“It might be wintertime and a lot of people aren’t thinking about their local parks, but the programming that park districts provide for our community are such an asset to Will County,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “I am happy to have helped secure funding for Plainfield Park District so they can continue to provide safe and fun activities for families.”
OSLAD is a cost-sharing program between state and local governments that helps communities fund land acquisition and development for parks and outdoor recreation projects. It’s become one of the most popular grant programs in Illinois. Since its establishment, OSLAD has awarded $675 million for park projects throughout Illinois.

Each monthly Coffee with Cappel serves as an open forum for community members to engage in informal conversations with the senator and each other about issues facing the region and the state.
This month’s event will be held Thursday, Jan. 22 from 10-11 a.m. at Ten Drops Coffee, located at 14903 S. Center St. in Plainfield. Coffee is provided.
