Village of Limestone

The Village of Limestone was incorporated in November of 2006 by an overwhelming majority vote. The village is located in Kankakee County, Illinois with a current population of about 1,600 community members and growing. 

​

Limestone encompasses approximately 2 1/2 square miles. Our footprint jogs around, but for good reason. When a new village is established, the state statute allows only two square miles to be incorporated. The committee worked diligently to achieve a dense population as well as business properties in order for the Village to be eligible for tax revenue and boundaries. This allows for the Village of Limestone to grow. 

​

In 2008, Vivian & Bartle Azzarelli generously donated the village's permanent home located at 5404 W. State Road 17, Limestone, Illinois. The building was renovated and houses the office as well as a village meeting area. A Village sign courtesy of Bob & Ginny Tanner of Tanner Signs & Designs  was erected. A LED message board and sign now provides the community with local information. The flag flying proudly with the memorial brick path leading to it, was also a great addition to the property. The future is bright for the Village and its residents.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

​

The Village Officials from the Mayor on down , volunteer their services to our community and have kept their promise to not impose a municipal tax. Even with limited funds, the Village has seen many wonderful accomplishments.

​

In 2010, a new water tower was constructed, bringing city water to

 the village.

​

The Village purchased the property next door in 2014 with plans for future growth. In 2020, a rock salt shed was erected and a new Public Service maintenance and storage building will be constructed in 2022.

​

A convenience store opened along Rt 17 in 2021, and we hope this will pave the way for other businesses to join our community.
