Downtown Overlay Meeting: Yorkville Wants Your Input

YORKVILLE, IL — In 2016, the city unveiled the Yorkville Plan, a comprehensive plan for the city, with the revitalization of downtown Yorkville as a main priority. Now, city officials want to hear from you. A public meeting on the the Downtown Overlay District is set for 5:30 p.m. Feb. 15 at Yorkville High School, 797 Game Farm Road.

"The meeting will be facilitated by Farr Associates, a nationally-renowned planning and architecture firm based in Chicago," according to the United City of Yorkville website.
