Long Range Plan



The Long Range Plan identifies and addresses issues affecting the long-term future of the Village. The Plan establishes the Village’s goals and priority actions that guide annual budgets, daily operations, and delivery of services. The long range planning process is one of many strong management practices that led S&P to grant the Village its highest bond rating of AAA. 

The Long Range Plan consists of:

● Strategic Goals for 2025 to 2027 and beyond

● Key trends and issues affecting the Village’s long-term future

● Strategies and solutions to address key trends and issues

● Priority Action Items to be completed by April 2027.


Adopted LRP 2025-2027


To prepare the Long Range Plan, the Village Council met multiple times in a workshop format from June through September 2025. The meetings provided an opportunity for dialogue and collaboration among the Village Council, community members, and staff.
