Advocate for Small Businesses & the Arts in Westmont

updated 9/6/26:

For 33 years, TLD Design Center & Gallery has had a home in downtown Westmont. When notified that redevelopment is forcing our displacement, we asked our community to stand with us—and your voices made an undeniable impact!

At the August 6th Village Board meeting, trustees acknowledged that community input directly shaped the drafting of the new Commercial TIF Relocation Grant program. Trustee Plowman even remarked, “I’m a little shocked how many cheerleaders are supporting you. It’s a great business to have in Westmont. I think culturally and artistically that’s what we’re trying to push here...” and with that, the Village Board voted "YES" to the Grant Program.
At the Sept 3rd Board meeting, a unanimous vote approved TLD DESIGN CENTER & GALLERY to receive the first TIFF Relocation Grant

While this progress is a major milestone, our work is not finished yet. With our move out deadline set for the end of November 2026, a Westmont SUP permiting deadline of Sept 10th has been identified which im told there is no available tool to expedite!! Financial aid was one piece of the puzzle—we need the Village to work side-by-side with displaced businesses to help identify viable new locations and help navigate and guide us through the various date sensitive inspections and permitting proceedures.

Please take 30 seconds to send a follow-up email thanking the Board for listening, and encouraging them to keep this momentum going through hands-on relocation and permitting assistance!
