Homer Glen promotes local business coupon event during Bell Road construction

The village of Homer Glen announced a May coupon promotion aimed at supporting non-restaurant local businesses affected by County road work on Bell Road and the Bell/143rd Street intersection. A village speaker urged residents to patronize local shops and services during construction and explained that participating businesses are offering coupons available in the village newsletter, on the village website and in coupon books at participating businesses.

The announcement said residents would also see signs around town and in village parks with a QR code linking to an online coupon page and reminded shoppers to bring printed or digital coupons to redeem offers in person. The speaker emphasized that shopping locally helps preserve jobs, keeps tax dollars in the community and enables businesses to support schools, charities and events. The message noted Homer Glen’s lower sales tax compared with surrounding communities as an additional incentive for shoppers.

No formal actions, votes, or policy decisions were recorded in the announcement; it was presented as an informational promotion rather than a deliberative village meeting item. The village encouraged residents to use the available channels to discover offers and support local businesses during the construction period.
