Join the Discussion as Downers Grove Prepares Four New Plans!

The plans, collectively branded as Guiding DG, will prepare the Village for growth over the coming decades, while improving the livability, mobility, design, and sustainability future of Downers Grove. Informed by community input, community vision, existing conditions, and future potential, Guiding DG plans will establish a foundation for decision making, guiding policy and helping the community achieve long-term goals.

Over the next 14 months, residents and community stakeholders can choose when and how to participate. The Guiding DG website will have the many ways to get involved and share your thoughts, including:  

Community Meetings - Various community meetings, including ‘pop-up’ opportunities at a variety of community events, will be held.

Community Survey - An online community survey is coming soon and will ask questions about important issues and opportunities facing Downers Grove that the Guiding DG plans should address.
