New building code requires all-electric construction to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

In June 2023, the Village of Oak Park Board of Trustees adopted an electrification ordinance as part of the building code. The ordinance requires any new building constructed after January 1, 2024, to be fully electric. This means there will be no natural gas hookups within the structure.
