Future Planning
The North Aurora Village Board has approved the 2018-2019 Strategic Plan for the Village of North Aurora. The Strategic Plan will be used to guide North Aurora into the future and help determine where the Village wants to go as a municipal government, as an organization, and as a community over the next several years.
The Comprehensive Plan is the Village of North Aurora’s policy document for future growth and development. Authorized by Illinois State Law (65 ILCS 5/11-12-5) it informs local decisions regarding land use, infrastructure, transportation, parks and recreation, and community services and facilities. It acts as the Village’s “roadmap” or “blueprint” to a better future.
