Future Planning

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.
