Mokena Honors Retiring Public Works Director Craig Heim

A Mokena legend was honored April 11 by past mayors and trustees. Craig Heim, public works director for 37 years, officially retired.

Known by the community as the tall guy with red hair, Heim started his career with the village in 1975, performing street maintenance, according to the website for the Village of Mokena. His commitment and dedication helped him to advance through the chief position in the public works department.  

He's most noted for facilitating the community's transition in 2002 to Lake Michigan water. Visit the Village website for more information on the Heim's farewell.
