On September 3, 2009, the plaza outside of Village Hall was dedicated as the Joel and Laurie Kagann Plaza. Many people were in attendance at the dedication ceremony as Mayor Murphy read the resolution naming the plaza. The Mayor shared some kind words about Mr. and Mrs. Kagann, and recounted their many years of public service. Being then introduced by their son, Joe Kagann, a Village Trustee, Joel and Laurie shared their memories of the community and fondness for people and places that have made Woodridge their home. A plaque with the new name of the plaza was unveiled during the ceremony and is on display at the southern end of the plaza.
