Community
The Village of Lakewood was incorporated on July 10, 1933. In 1993 the Village Board developed a vision statement which has become the basis for making decisions to preserve this way of life. The statement reads, "Lakewood will remain a friendly community providing families with quality living in a natural setting", adopted as our mission statement.
Lakewood's long term vision is to be essentially a residential community with miles of bike paths connecting to a regional network. New neighborhoods will be built utilizing natural terrain features. Lakes and wetlands will continue to be key features in our community.
