Town Hall Event With Terry D'Arcy, Joliet Mayoral Candidate

JOLIET, IL — Joliet residents will have a chance to meet Terry D'Arcy and learn about his plans to change the dynamics of Joliet's City Hall on Monday night at the Stone City VFW. The public event is from 6 to 8 p.m. The Stone City VFW Post is off Route 53, and the address is 124 Stone City Drive. It's out near the Chicagoland Speedway, but on the opposite side of the highway.

Last June, the president of D'Arcy Motors announced his plans to run for mayor of Joliet. He is trying to defeat two-term Mayor Bob O'Dekirk. Tybell is the third candidate on the ballot.

Monday night's event is called "Town Hall With Terry."

The event flier proclaims: "Join Terry for an open discussion about his plans for Joliet and to talk about the issues that are most important to you."

Joliet's municipal election is Tuesday, April 4.

During a Jan. 30 exclusive interview with Joliet Patch, D'Arcy revealed that his campaign to become Joliet's next mayor involves three main goals: improving Joliet's quality of life, how city resources are allocated and improving how Joliet is viewed.

"Residents feel frustrated, and, in some cases, ignored when it comes to how the city is run and how and where resources are allocated," D'Arcy explained. "City leadership needs to do a better job of listening to our residents and restoring pride back in our city."

Citywide beautification projects would be a focal point of D'Arcy's tenure as mayor.

"We just need to take pride in our city, and we need to come off as a world-class city," D'Arcy also told Joliet Patch in January. "If we think that way, we will be that way."
