McHenry County Project 2050 Plan: Call to Action

We’ve been on a journey together, staying informed and proactive about the future of our community. The time has come to take a step further. We invite you to join us in a detailed examination of the McHenry County Project 2050 plan. This is our chance to shape the future of McHenry County, ensuring that we leave a legacy of prosperity and well-being for our children and grandchildren.

The McHenry County 2050 Comprehensive Plan is a strategic blueprint designed to guide growth and development in McHenry County over the next 30 years. It serves as a roadmap for setting policies that will shape the county’s future in various key areas. Here are some of the focal points of the plan:

• Land Use: Establishing guidelines for the use of land to balance development with conservation.
• Housing: Creating policies to ensure a diverse range of housing options that meet the needs of all residents.
• Economic Development: Fostering a robust economy through strategic planning and support for local businesses.
• Agricultural Resources: Protecting and enhancing the county’s agricultural heritage and economy.
• Transportation and Mobility: Developing a transportation system that is safe, efficient, and accessible to all.
• Community Facilities and Infrastructure: Planning for public facilities and infrastructure that support a high quality of life.
• Natural Resources and Active Recreation: Preserving natural resources and providing opportunities for active recreation.
• Green Infrastructure and Water Resources: Ensuring the sustainability of the county’s water resources and promoting green infrastructure.
• Historic Resources: Safeguarding the county's historic sites and heritage.

The plan emphasizes community involvement and seeks public input to make informed decisions that reflect the needs and aspirations of McHenry County residents. 

YOU VOICE is CRUCIAL. Help us to look at the details to provide input to the County Board. Your insights and input can help identify projects and policies that will address the needs of residents and businesses through 2050 and potential issues with the plans. This is not a lifelong commitment, but a short-term opportunity to make a long-lasting impact.

We need your help to make a difference.

Join us tonight, and let’s work together to create a better McHenry County for the generations to come.

Let’s move forward together!
