Newkomis Introducing those near and far to the businesses, opportunities, events and the great quality of life in Downtown Nokomis, Illinois!
(1)

Downtown Nokomis is the traditional center of government, finance, commercial activity, and civic life. The value of downtown to the entire community is more than just symbolic. Everyone - not just downtown business and property owners, but every segment of the community - has a real stake in the economic health of the downtown. The concept of community ownership is an important principle in our comprehensive approach to downtown revitalization.
