Coal City Comprehensive Plan

Downloads about the plan and community survey are available at the bottom of the page.

The Village of Coal City partnered with North Central Illinois Council of Governments (NCICG) to update the village’s comprehensive plan.  The plan focuses on the physical development of the village by examining infrastructure needs, land use, transportation issues, community facilities, housing options, parks and open space, historical resources, and economic development.  An analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats was conducted to formulate achievable goals and strategies to improve the quality of life for Coal City residents.

Public involvement was essential to creating the plan.  The planning process gave stakeholders an opportunity to share their vision for the future of the community.  Local officials, business owners, and residents were invited to offer their input.  The comprehensive plan is a long-term document that will guide future growth.  The document was adopted by the village president and trustees on April 28, 2014.
