Two years shy of its semi-centennial, Woodridge is one of the youngest towns on the list. But don't let its age fool you: the quaint village has already made huge steps with the Internationale Centre (one of the largest multi-state use business parks in the Chicago area) and the universal accreditation of all its schools by a local agency (only 5% of schools in the entire state receive this). Woodridge is a three-time winner of a county Municipal Innovation Award, thanks to local festivals such as Celebrate the Many Faces of Woodridge and Woodridge Idol. -I.T.
