Village of Huntley

Huntley, IL

Timothy Hoeft

Village President

Pledge Summary

The Village of Huntley, home to nearly 30,000 residents, is strategically positioned in Chicago’s "Golden Corridor" at the crossroads of I-90 and Route 47. As one of the region’s fastest-growing communities, Huntley blends suburban charm with progressive growth. Under the leadership of Village President Timothy J. Hoeft, Huntley is proud to renew its commitment to monarch butterfly and pollinator conservation by participating in the Mayors’ Monarch Pledge. Building upon past successes, Huntley continues to collaborate with local partners such as the Huntley Park District, the Huntley Rotary Club, and community volunteers. In 2024, the Village launched its third pollinator-friendly garden at Betsey Warrington Park, contributing to the creation of meaningful pollinator habitats across public parks. For 2025, the Village plans to expand its efforts through additional demonstration gardens.
