This event will be held between 4:00
pm and 7:00 pm at the McHenry County Administration Building (667 Ware Road in
Woodstock). Because of its open house format, attendees may arrive at any
time to learn about the plan, green infrastructure concepts, and how these
concepts promote the county’s goals of natural resource protection and
intergovernmental cooperation.
Presentations will be given
periodically and exhibits and copies of the plan will be on display.
County staff will also be available to answer questions and receive comments.
The Department of Planning and
Development has been working on a green infrastructure plan 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. These efforts stem directly from recommendations and
policies of the McHenry County 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The plan embraces
a collection of ideas and practices known as “green infrastructure” and,
through maps and policy recommendations, presents a vision for countywide
implementation.

County Green Infrastructure plan, please click here.
