The grantees are businesses owned by Socially Economically Disadvantaged Individuals with a maximum of 25 full-time permanent employees or Very Small Businesses with less than 10 employees.

New Naperville DMV

A new Illinois DMV will be opened in Naperville Monday.

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias’ office will hold an event with area legislators at the facility on Diehl Road.
