1. Welcome to the Prospect Heights News

  2. The Prospect Heights News is a publication which is available exclusively to members of the Prospect Heights Homeowners Association.

    The Association’s purpose is simply to keep you informed and engaged in discussions and decisions that directly affect you as a resident of Prospect Heights. We do not comment, editorialize or take positions on any of the issues. It’s all about getting you the information so that you can make your own judgements. There are no dues, no financial or time commitments of any kind on your part. The only requirement is that you reside within the Prospect Heights city limits.

    Our publication, the Prospect Heights News, is an electronic newspaper, and is a consolidation of the key events that are being discussed, debated and decided upon by our city government. It contains short video clips of important topics being discussed at each of our city council meetings. So rather than having to watch an entire three hour video to see what you missed, you can simply scroll down the page, click on whatever topic is of interest to you, and watch a short video clip. Your membership also entitles you to receive our newsletter as well as email alerts on topics that you tell us you are interested in. Simply email us a list of events that you wish to be alerted about and we will send you an email if there is any new information that we become aware of regarding that topic. And again, there are no charges for any of these services. It’s just our way of helping keep everyone in our city informed and engaged.

    To join, simply send your name, address, email address and phone number to: register@phnews.org

    All information is kept confidential and is used only for the purpose of identifying that you live within the city limits, which is our only eligibility requirement.
