May-June 2013

From the Desk of President Abruscato

It is with a thankful but heavy heart that I depart from the Wheeling Village Board after 26 years of dedicated service. I have loved every moment of working for my fellow Wheeling residents and will always be proud of the accomplishments the Board members and I have achieved together over the years. When I started as a Trustee in 1987 I could only dream of things such as the development of the Dundee Road and Milwaukee Avenue corridors into restaurant and shopping hot spots, the new construction of not only a Village Hall but also a Public Works facility and Police and Fire Stations, the opening of an upscale hotel like the Westin, and the construction of all the beautiful residential communities which have become home to many of you. I would like to thank all of my constituents who have supported me during my tenure, and I promise to remain a dedicated Wheeling resident even outside of the Village Board.

Congratulations to Trustee Dean Argiris who will be sworn in as the new Village President at a Regular Board Meeting on Monday, May 6. Along with President-Elect Argiris, incumbents Ken Brady and Bill Hein as well as newcomer Mary Krueger will be sworn in as Trustees, and Elaine Simpson will be sworn in to continue her service as Village Clerk. I give my sincere congratulations to the new Board and wish them all the best of luck in wholeheartedly serving the residents of this Village.
