FOIA Request to City of Hickory Hills Regarding Newly Registered Businesses on May 7, 2025.
As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in local government affairs, South Cook News has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Hickory Hills. We are seeking a comprehensive list of businesses registered with the city over the past week. The requested information includes key details such as Business Name, Business Number, Business Type, Business Address, Issued Date, Status, and Registered Agent Name.
Our role as a media organization is crucial in gathering and disseminating news that holds public institutions accountable. Access to these public records will enable us to provide accurate and thorough coverage of local governmental activities. We have also requested a fee waiver for this information due to our status as media professionals dedicated to informing the public.
This request is supported by The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating state and federal agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. Our collaboration aims to enhance transparency and keep the American electorate informed about government actions.
We look forward to receiving the requested information promptly and are available for any questions or clarifications needed by the City of Hickory Hills.
