About the Plan

What is a Comprehensive Plan?

A Comprehensive Plan is a blueprint for the future. It is a community vision that will guide the City of Danville for the next 25 years. The Comprehensive Plan will result in a set of policies that direct future growth and development. Additionally, the creation of a plan can lead to potential strategies that will help effectively guide City leaders as they make substantive and thoughtful decisions for the community.

What are the Contents of a Comprehensive Plan?

The Comprehensive Plan will outline Danville's existing conditions, describe future goals and objectives for development, and include an action plan on how to achieve these goals and objectives. The Comprehensive Plan will address the following topics:

  • Community Profile

  • Land Use & Built Form

  • Housing & Neighborhood

  • Transportation & Mobility

  • Public Health & Wellness

  • Natural & Cultural Resources

  • Parks & Recreation

  • Safety

  • Economy & Opportunity

  • Public Facilities

  • The City is committed to involving residents, businesses, and workers in the process to craft a community vision for Woodstock's future. Ultimately, the Plan Commission and City Board will approve and adopt the Comprehensive Plan.

  • The initial phases of the plan have begun with anticipated completion in the Spring of 2026.

  • Existing plans are an important part of the Comprehensive Plan process. These plans will inform the Comprehensive Plan, and in some cases will be incorporated into the plan if the goals and vision are still consistent with the aspirations of the community today.

  • You can get involved in all the Comprehensive Plan activities, from data collection to community visioning and mapping, to the creation of community goals and objectives.
