Support Local Restaurants and Businesses

Region 8, including Lombard, recently moved to Tier 1 COVID-19 mitigations, which allows for limited indoor dining. While we continue to move forward as a community, we are excited about opportunities to visit and shop at Lombard restaurants and businesses, and to get back to some of our favorite pastimes. Residents are strongly encouraged to choose to dine and shop locally whenever possible. It is our hope that residents will recognize the importance of supporting local businesses at this important time. 

Customers should expect to comply with social distance and should continue to wear masks in situations when a minimum of 6’ of social distance cannot be maintained.
