Over this summer, the All In Glencoe Planning Team has been refining the first Draft of the Big Ideas & Goals shared this spring, based on community input and guidance from Village Staff and the Plan Commission. Using engagement findings collected to date, we’ve also drafted Objectives to help advance each of the Goals. Together, these comprise a framework for the draft comprehensive plan.
The planning team now asks for your feedback. Click the arrow below to read more about the Draft Goals and Objectives, and then scroll and select one of the Big Ideas below to get started!
What are the Goals and Objectives?
Goals and objectives outline policies, programs, and further planning the Village looks to conduct in implementing this comprehensive plan. The statements are reflective of past planning efforts of the Village, community input throughout the planning process thus far, and feedback shared by various Village Commissions.
Goals are aspirational statements of Village ambitions for the future. They are not measurable and may not ultimately be fully achievable – but they spell out what the Villages seeks to preserve, change, and become.
Objectives are actions which define the steps or policies to be followed in pursuit of goals. Some are broad, some more specific. Some may not come with a timeline and may be altered in their ultimate implementation. They likely require more thought, deliberation, and refinement as they are brought to fruition. This is how effective plans get used; the priorities and desired outcomes generally remain, while the environment in which they become reality is dynamic.
