Monee was recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA for its 2025 accomplishments, a distinction held by fewer than 3,500 communities nationwide.
Economic and environmental initiatives took center stage for the Monee Village Board on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, as officials celebrated new retail openings and a national forestry recognition.
Economic Development Director Bill Barnes provided an update on the highly anticipated grand opening of the village’s new Tractor Supply location. Barnes noted that the Monee facility is significantly larger than neighboring locations, describing it as the “Taj Mahal of Tractor Supplies.”
“We had a great attendance for the grand opening of Tractor Supply,” Barnes said, encouraging residents to shop locally ahead of the spring planting season. “In the next few weeks before Mother’s Day, their garden center will be filled with flowers, plants, fruit trees, that type of thing.”
Barnes also announced the impending opening of Historia Coffee, located at 5430 Main Street next to the Provision Market. After over three years of development, the coffee house is scheduled for a grand opening on Saturday, April 25, at 10:00 a.m.
On the environmental front, Trustee Heidi Gonzalez proudly announced that the Village of Monee has once again been awarded “Tree City USA” recognition by the Arbor Day Foundation for its 2025 accomplishments.
“To receive the recognition, communities must annually meet or exceed four standards that demonstrate our commitment to community trees,” Gonzalez explained, thanking village staff member Megan for her extensive work compiling the application data for state forestry officials.
Mayor Dr. Therese M. Bogs praised the Department of Public Works for their ongoing commitment to the village’s green spaces, noting that the Tree City USA designation is only awarded to around 3,500 communities across the entire country.
“This is how it’s grown and how we’ve committed to it,” Mayor Bogs stated. “The quality of life in this town, it starts there. You know, we’ve got some beautiful old groves of trees and we’ve got some fabulous new plantings.”
