Four newly elected commissioners are set to join the Frankfort Square Park District Board in May, following the April 1, 2025, Consolidated Election.

Executive Director Audrey Marcquenski formally congratulated Lauren Breedlove, Frank Florentine, Joseph King, and Denis Moore on their successful elections during the board’s April 17 meeting. Florentine, King, and Moore were present at the meeting, while Breedlove was absent.

The election results will become official after Will County canvasses the votes, which is expected no later than April 22.

The new board members will be sworn into office when they take the Oath of Office at the next public board meeting, scheduled for May 15.

The board consists of seven members who serve staggered terms. The new commissioners will join President Craig Maksymiak, Phil Cherry, and Ryan Holley on the board. The updated board will be tasked with overseeing the district’s budget, extensive programming, and numerous capital projects, including the ongoing redevelopment of Hunter Prairie Park and new facilities at The Square.
