A Letter From the Executive
“I am honored to serve as your Will County Executive.”
I am honored to serve as your Will County Executive. As a lifelong resident of this great county, I have witnessed many changes as we have evolved from an ag-community to a major hub in the global distribution market. I am dedicated to building upon this status but I am equally dedicated to maintaining the quality of life for the nearly 700,000 residents and thousands of businesses and organizations that call Will County home.
Please explore our website which is filled with important information about services and departments within the County Executive office as well as connections to other county officials' websites.
Will County is diverse, vibrant and filled with hard-working people. We have room to grow and we look forward to a great future.
— Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, Will County Executive
