Comp Plan Process to Date

This comprehensive planning process has involved community stakeholders and the general public from the outset, with public meetings held both in June and in October 2011. During these public workshops, residents and other community leaders helped identify issues that the comprehensive plan should address, and envisioned what they would like Blue Island to look like in the future.

At the October public workshop, participants voted on their top 10 “big ideas” that they would like addressed in the comprehensive plan. For those residents, business owners, and other interested parties in Blue Island who were not able to attend the October workshop, please follow this link to a 2-question online survey, which allows respondents to share their opinions and vote for their top idea for the comprehensive plan.

Existing Conditions Report

With assistance from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), we now have an Existing Conditions Report to share with the public, documenting the current state of housing, economic, transportation, and environmental conditions in Blue Island today. The draft Existing Conditions Report can be found here [.pdf].
