Steve Chirico
Steve Chirico
Mayor of the City of Naperville
2015-2023
Whose vision and determination to create this space to usher in a new era of how to work and gather, was ahead of its time, and, in the same spirit that brought about the Riverwalk, led a community coming together to create the Naperville Jaycees Smart Park that forever transformed Naperville's Municipal Center Campus.
We are grateful for his many years of service and bright vision for Naperville's future.
