Tinley Park 1976 A Quiet Yet Productive Year
Mayor John Dunn surveys Tinley Park's 1976 as a transitional year with population growth from 8000 to 23500. The village hired a manager, secured grants for Rock Island commuter parking, and supported park district ties and major capital projects while hosting the Bicentennial Wagon Train drawing 80 000 visitors. Dunn calls it a good year with focus on people concerns and infrastructure.
