Franklin Park is Participating in a Municipal Electric Aggregation Program
The Village of Franklin Park has restarted our Municipal Electric Aggregation Program. At no cost to residents or the Village, Franklin Park will be supporting green energy. Due to the aggregation program, the Village will be purchasing over 3,000,000 kWh's of green energy, or the equivalent energy of replacing 600 gasoline powered cars for a year.
MC Squared Energy Services, LLC (mc2), was selected to serve the eligible residents and small business customers with an electric supply price equal to the ComEd rate for a 12-month term beginning with the October 2023 ComEd meter read cycle. In addition, this Electric Aggregation Program provides the Village with Renewable Energy Certificates to be designated an EPA Green Power Community at zero added cost to residents and the Village.
Letters from the Village were sent out in mid-August announcing this program, earlier than we had planned. We regret the confusion and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Several versions of the program announcement letter have gone out to different households, so please read your letter for specific information. Not all residents will be included in the program, so many of the letters will just be informational. Please understand that while you may receive a different letter than your neighbor, you will not pay a rate that is one penny more than your neighbor’s rate.
Summary of Program Benefits:
- Price is equal to ComEd’s monthly published rate (it will not be higher or lower)
- Village provided with Renewable Energy Certificates to be designated an EPA Green Power
- Residents and small businesses may opt out at any time with no termination fees.
ComEd will continue to deliver the energy. You will receive a single bill from ComEd each month. If you have questions, you should contact MC Squared Energy Services, LLC at:
FranklinPark@mc2energyservices.com or call 833-505-3751
You may also contact our consultant, Adam Hoover, at 847-392-9300.
Please note that no one from ComEd, MC Squared Energy Services, or the Village will call or visit your home to ask you to enroll

CONSTRUCTION NOTICE
Franklin Avenue Reconstruction
September Road Closure – Franklin and Williams
Due to multiple utility delays on Franklin Avenue, the Contractor (Plote Construction) is moving to accelerate work on Williams Drive (and the intersection of Franklin at Williams) to ensure that a safe driving surface is in place before winter. Starting September 5, Franklin Ave at Williams Drive will be CLOSED to through traffic in both directions and all vehicles are recommended to use the posted detour route. This work is expected to take 4 weeks. Franklin Avenue and Williams Drive will both be reopened to full access once paving activities have been completed.
Franklin Avenue will be closed to through traffic at Williams Drive. Williams Drive will be closed to through traffic between Belmont Avenue and Franklin Avenue. Vehicles will be diverted as shown in the detour map.
Local traffic will be able to access the project area and all driveways will have access through the following routes:
• If your driveway is located west of Williams Drive, vehicles will only be able to access your business via Wolf Road.
• If your driveway is located east of Williams Drive, vehicles will only be able to access your business via the
Belmont Avenue to Franklin Avenue detour.
Please coordinate deliveries to follow this detour route to minimize delivery delays. Franklin Avenue will be completely closed at Williams Drive and semi-truck traffic will not be able to travel through the closure limits.

The Village of Franklin Park is aware of the disruption and inconvenience that will be caused and appreciates your patience and cooperation during this construction project. If you have any questions or concerns, call the Consulting Resident Engineer, Kevin Wilson at (847) 833-0274 or the Village Engineer, Tom McCabe at (847) 671-8304.

Watch for Scams
If you receive something in the mail requesting the need to
have a worker conduct a test or an inspection in your home, please
review the information carefully to verify if it is really from
the Village. If you are unsure, please contact the Village at
(847) 671-4800 or call the Police Department at (847) 678-2444.
As a reminder, residents should always ask for identification
from anyone requesting access to their home. If you are
approached by an individual claiming to be a Village of
Franklin Park employee or a worker from a local utility,
make sure they have proper identification. You can also
check to see that they are driving a clearly marked Village
of Franklin Park or utility company vehicle. If something
seems suspicious or it just doesn’t “feel” right to you, please
call the Franklin Park Police Department at 847-678-2444.
