The city of Joliet has announced the 2024 Neighborhood Hero Award winners, a program that honors properties with exemplary yards. This includes yards with well-maintained lawns, vibrant flowers, healthy shrubs, thriving trees and creative hardscaping.
Established in 2015 by Project Acclaim, the Neighborhood Hero Award recognizes residents who exhibit civic pride and positively impact their neighborhood and local community, according to a news release from the city.
