THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

Long Grove adopted a new special events ordinance creating a permit system for gatherings, parades, and commercial filming/photography, with defined fees, insurance requirements, and Village Manager/Village Board approval thresholds. Filming fees now range from $250 to $1,000 per day, and covered bridge closures incur extra charges. This change signals a more structured environment for event organizers and production companies, where vendors in permitting assistance, event logistics, and location services can support clients navigating the new rules.

Background

Ordinance emphasizes public safety, insurance, and cost recovery for Village services at events.
