City of Kankakee Mayor

Welcome to the City of Kankakee!

As Mayor of the City of Kankakee, I am pleased to welcome you to our city on the rise. Thank you for visiting us and for taking the time to learn more about our community.

Illinois Secure Choice Act

ATTENTION LOCAL BUSINESSES: The Illinois Secure Choice Act requires all businesses with 5 or more employees to either offer an employer-sponsored retirement plan, like a 401k or Simple IRA, or enroll in Illinois Secure Choice (the state-run option). The deadline to do this depends on the size of your business. The good news is you have options available to you.
