Message from the Mayor
On behalf of the trustees of the village board, our clerk, our treasurer, our office employees, our maintenance employees, and our zoning board, welcome to the village of Dunlap’s website.
Dunlap was founded in 1871, incorporated in 1952, and will celebrate 150 years of existence in 2021. The trustees and employees work diligently to see that the annual operating budget of $1,152,632 is spent in the best interests of the village. Dunlap is a safe, friendly community to call home. Dunlap is located six miles from the city of Peoria and is located in Peoria County in central Illinois. Our business community strives to have a small town attitude and get to know their customers and clients on a first name basis. These businesses work closely with the village and other groups including Dunlap School District #323, Dunlap Fire Department, Dunlap Library District, Dunlap Recreation Association, and the Dunlap Junior Football League.
Our village continues to grow either thru development or annexation. We will continue to work with property owners who show interest in annexing into the village. Our comprehensive plan committee recently worked on updating our comprehensive plan, with the help of the Tri County Planning Commission, and the final copy of that plan will be coming in the next few months. Our board also recently voted to have a 2nd water line brought into the village from Orange Prairie Road north on route 91 to the village. This line will help with water pressure for existing customers, improve fire protection, and be an asset in future development. This project has just begun. We hope to have the water line up and running in the fall of 2022 or spring of 2023.
Please visit our website often to access the different links to keep you up to date on information and events occurring in the village. We welcome communication from our current residents and look forward to new residents calling Dunlap home.
