Speak Up: Libertyville Seeks Feedback On Comprehensive Plan

LIBERTYVILLE, IL – The village of Libertyville is updating its comprehensive plan and is asking for the public's input. Residents are invited to stop out from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 18, for the first "Community Speak-out!" at the Libertyville Civic Center, 135 West Church Street. Village officials have hired the Lakota Group to assist in the collaborative planning process.

A comprehensive plan outlines policies and strategies related to land use and development, downtown, infrastructure and capital improvements, housing and neighborhoods, open spaces and natural resources, transportation, historic preservation, quality of life, and community sustainability and resiliency, according to The Lakota Group website.

"The process for developing the Comprehensive Plan provides a unique opportunity for community residents and stakeholders to participate in the planning process and communicate their ideas regarding Libertyville’s future," according to the website.

The Lakota Group provided the additional information:

The Comprehensive Plan will capitalize on Libertyville’s existing assets, including its traditional downtown core and neighborhoods, quality of life amenities, schools, proximity to transit, and community services—while also considering planning strategies for sustainable growth, enhancing community appearance, diversifying its employment base, and adding new recreational and open space amenities.Additionally, the Comprehensive Plan will build upon recent efforts by the Village—including the recently adopted Downtown Transit Oriented Development Plan and Economic Development Strategy, the historic resources survey of downtown, and the on-going Stormwater Master Plan—to ensure that cutting-edge techniques and a holistic planning process result in a compelling guiding document for the Village to plan, grow, and prosper.
