Community Development - Long Range Planning
Long-range planning guides and directs development and complex projects that will take over five-years to implement. The initiatives detailed below typically require multi-year investments, involve a variety of community stakeholders, and impact many, if not all, of the Village's residents.
The Comprehensive Plan is a document designed to guide Village leaders in making decisions about the future development of the community. It deals with things like housing, transportation, public services, and the use of land.
Because Skokie is a very diverse community, creating smaller plans around neighborhoods makes it easier to focus on the specific needs and interests of local residents and businesses.
