Nominate Someone Today Who Has an Outstanding Yard!
Help us recognize residents that show great pride in their property and therefore demonstrate great pride in their neighborhood and in our City. The City of Joliet is proud to partner again with Project Acclaim to recognize residents who show civic pride by having outstanding yards through the 2021 Neighborhood Hero Award Program. Winners get a celebratory yard sign and Joliet City Council recognition.
