Working together to unite people and celebrate diversity, culture, and economic opportunities
Carpentersville, IL
Project Highlights
Created a long-term development plan for the Village
Bike trails and sidewalk connections were mapped to enhance mobility, safety, and recreation
Plan included designs for a new riverfront park along the Fox River as a focal point for the Village
Reached out to the diverse community through bilingual activties, both in-person and online
Re-imagine Carpentersville invited residents to share their ideas and insights to form a common vision for the future growth of the Village. The plan enhances connectivity for all modes, proposes redeveloping community destinations such as Spring Hill Mall as a vibrant, mixed-use district, and recommends ways to activate the Fox River as a key recreational gathering place for locals and visitors. The plan focused on expanding economic opportunities, increasing housing options, and revitalizing commercial areas. Four subareas were identified to guide future growth of the Village. Carpentersville is working on major plan implementation items such as a new riverfront park at the former M & M Patio Stone site in Old Town and a new Village-wide wayfinding and signage program.
“Hardworking, motivated people with a great culture and strong Village leadership...that is Carpentersville.”
