McHenry County Green Infrastructure Explained Today 4 - 7 p.m.

A special Open House is taking place TODAY 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. in the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development, located in the McHenry County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road Woodstock.

Interested attendees may arrive at any time to learn about the green infrastructure concepts and how they promote the county’s goals of natural resource protection and intergovernmental cooperation.

This is the presentation of a Green Infrastructure Plan For McHenry County, which the McHenry County Planning and Development Department has been working on since late 2010.

“Green infrastructure” is a term that represents the latest strategies and technologies that support the natural environment, wildlife diversity, and clean water.

The efforts for this plan stem directly from recommendations and policies of the McHenry County 2030 Comprehensive Plan. This plan embraces a collection of ideas and practices known as “green infrastructure” and, through maps and policy recommendations, presents a vision for county wide implementation.
