The Downtown Plan is a focused component of the Comprehensive Planning effort to address the unique character and challenges of McHenry’s downtown. Similar to the Comprehensive Plan, the Downtown Plan will result in a framework for public investment and development guidelines. Stakeholder outreach will ensure that residents, businesses, and visitors to McHenry’s downtown provide feedback that will shape the vision.
Check out the plan process to see where we are today and what to expect over the course of the project.
