Statement From Larry

Dear Friend:

I would like to welcome you to my campaign website. As your Will County Executive, I am your countywide elected official who is responsible for the day to day operations of County government. In this role, I am working full time to address the many challenges our rapidly growing county faces.

I ran for Will County Executive to bring responsible, accountable and visible government to our communities. Since being elected in 2004, and reelected in 2008, my administration has worked cooperatively to bring the County’s financial house in order, create better partnerships with our local governmental bodies, and planned more pro-actively for the future of our region.

Please check back regularly to this website as I will continue to update you with ongoing issues, news stories, and other important information related to my campaign efforts.

Thanks for your support,

Lawrence "Larry" M. Walsh

Walsh in the News - Will County Government furthers its green mission --

7/11/2010 -

JOLIET -- Will County continued its commitment to "going green" as workers installed a green roof on the county office building, 302 N. Chicago St. The green roof, which seeks to reduce energy costs and offer other environmental benefits, is the first of its kind in downtown Joliet. As part of a $3.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program, Will County was able to complete this project. The 5,920-square-foot GreenGrid roof contains sedum and other perennial plant life pre-planted in 2-by-4 foot trays. Approximately 740 of these modular sections will cover a large portion of the rooftop. Will County Executive Larry Walsh said this project is another piece of the county's larger green initiative program, which includes an aggressive retrofit of county buildings, a gas-to-energy plant at the Will County-owned Prairie View landfill in Wilmington, and a variety of educational efforts directed toward students.

12/10/2009 -

JOLIET -- Gov. Pat Quinn is scheduled to join local and state officials at a Saturday gathering to mark the accumulation of funding needed to make city water and sewer services available to the Ridgewood area. "The collaboration that came together has just been tremendous," said Will County Executive Larry Walsh, a leader in the effort to solve the decades-old problem of bad water and seeping sewage in Ridgewood.

Walsh in the News - Stimulus to solve sewage woes in Ridgewood Neighborhood --

12/10/2009 -

JOLIET -- Federal stimulus funds will help solve a decades-long problem with bad water in the Ridgewood area. Anyone willing to pay for it will have access to city of Joliet water and sewage services by sometime in the summer. It will go a long way toward solving a problem that dates back a half-century when a trunk line for water and sewer is built in the coming months, funded largely with stimulus money.
