The City of Glencoe is working to develop a new Comprehensive Plan to guide its growth, evolution and development for the next ten to twenty years.

The Comprehensive Plan will respond to community ideas and guidance, and lay out a roadmap for how to get there - including developing a vision for the City, key decisions to be made, and places to focus investment, among others.

It will be focused on implementation, and will include ideas and initiatives that can be started right away, as well as other initiatives that will take longer to achieve.

The Glencoe community will orient the plan's recommendations. A Project Steering Committee has been assembled to guide the work of the Project Team.

Glencoe’s relatively compact size makes it ideally suited for growing trips by foot or bike. Shown here: portions of the city within a 10 minute walk or bike ride from downtown.
