David Pope, village president of Oak Park, has been named to a new Cook County Sustainability Council formed by County Board president Toni Preckwinkle.
Preckwinkle said she wants the council to “think outside the box in setting goals for sustainability.” She called for the council to catalyze “policies that will make Cook County environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable now and for the long haul”.
The council is to meet regularly throughout the year, and to produce an annual report, including recommmendations.
