Community Infrastructure Investment The Village of Wilmette has recently secured $150,000 in engineering funds aimed at enhancing bicycle infrastructure, indicating a strong community focus on sustainable transportation and infrastructure development. Opportunities exist to provide complementary solutions such as smart traffic management, public safety systems, and environmentally friendly transit options.
Public Safety & Security Enhancement Wilmette actively partners with local agencies on safety initiatives, including bomb threat responses and school safety programs. This presents potential sales avenues for advanced security technologies, surveillance systems, emergency communication platforms, and safety management solutions tailored for municipal and educational settings.
Green Energy Initiatives Participation in Illinois’ largest community solar program demonstrates Wilmette's commitment to renewable energy. Solutions related to energy management, smart grid technology, and sustainable utility services could align well with the village’s environmental goals and existing infrastructure.
Collaborative Community Programs Partnerships with organizations such as the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus and local nonprofits highlight Wilmette’s community engagement and wellness efforts. There is potential for providing community development technology, wellness portals, and digital engagement platforms to support these programs.
Financial and Operational Profile With a substantial operational budget of over $105 million and staffing of 200 plus employees, Wilmette represents a sizable municipality with potential needs for financial management software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions, and municipal service optimization tools to improve operational efficiency.
