Planning & Assessment
The Kane County Development and Community Services Department is in the process of updating the county’s master plan.  The Kane County 2040 Plan is a long-range comprehensive plan and is a statement of public policy on issues relating to community development, water resource management, open space protection and land use decisions.

This year, for the first time, a stand-alone chapter on community health is included, which was written and contributed by the health department.  In addition, the overarching theme of the plan is Healthy People, Healthy Living, Healthy Communities which recognizes and emphasizes the connection between the most important resource in Kane County – its people – with the opportunities and barriers for healthy living created by the built and natural environment, and how together they shape the overall health of communities.

The draft chapters are available for public comment and we invite you to review the plan and comment on what you see.  This is your opportunity to shape the future of Kane County!
