Welcome to The New Cicero
Cicero Protests Chicago Water Rate IncreasesAfter absorbing water rate increases for the past six years imposed by the City of Chicago, the Town of Cicero was forced to raise water rates this week after Chicago officials announced a 25 percent hike in water rates this year and 15 percent increases for each of the next three years.
Since 2005, when President Larry Dominick was elected to office, the City of Chicago has increased water fees a total of 72 percent. Compounded, the Chicago increases would be equivalent to more than 150 percent.
Most suburban communities simply pass along the fee increases to their residents but President Dominick has directed the Town of Cicero to absorb the majority of the increases rather than pass them along to Cicero residents.

President Dominick Announces Renovation of Metra StationTown President Larry Dominick announced the renovation of the Metra Station 4808 W. 26th Street at the meeting of the Town Board this morning.
The project, funded through Metra the RTA and IDOT, will invest between $3 million and $5 million to renovate the Town's Metra Train Station along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe line.
"It has been promised by many past administrations in Cicero but I made it one of my priorities to get the state to provide their share of the funding and we did get that funding finally," said Town President Larry Dominick.
"This is part of my administration's vision for the New Cicero, to bring the Town of Cicero into the 21st Century with new programs, parks, industry, businesses and to consolidate government to make it more efficient for the people of Cicero."
Dominick pointed out that since becoming president, he has directed the construction of a new Town Hall that provides more efficient access to the public, a new state-of-the-art community center that has substantially increased family-orientated, youth and senior programming, the new Community Park at 34th and Laramie Avenue, a new Public Works Building to improve the delivery of services, the new Bobby Hull Community Ice Rink that was just inaugurated two weeks ago, and the attraction of new industry such as the Wirtz Beverage Illinois statewide hub across from Community Park on the east side of the old abandoned Sportsman's property.
"These are only some of the new projects that I have for the Town of Cicero," Dominick said.
