Envision Elgin, the new Comprehensive Plan sets forth long-range recommendations for the maintenance and enhancements of existing neighborhoods, commercial and employment areas, and advances strategies for sustainable development and economic growth of the community. It also highlights targeted subareas and specific locations for infill redevelopment and new public investment. The plan provides the framework to guide Elgin's continued growth, reinvestment, and development over the next 15 to 20 years.
The City's residents, the business community, elected and appointed officials, institutions and organizations, all have a strong sense of stewardship for Elgin's successes and share a determination to make the City the very best place it can be. The investment in public-private cooperation and community pride influences all aspects of life in Elgin.
