Takeout 25 has partnered with the Illinois Green Business Association (IGBA) to seize the opportunity to form Illinois' first ever 'Green Dining District' in the Oak Park area. The Urbana-Champaign based organization is funding the local program through grants and has ambitions to grow this first effort into a state-wide program. The effort is in early stages, but responses from restaurant owners have been positive to date. Ravi Parakkat, founder of Takeout 25 and a current village trustee was joined by Cassie Carroll, director and co-founder of IGBA to make a presentation to restaurateurs at an owners meet up held in October.
