 Community Open House Takes Place Today
Help us create a vision for Winnetka’s vibrant business districts and other elements that are essential to the fabric of the community by sharing your feedback. The Winnetka Plan Commission and Village Council have drafted a vision for the Village, goals to help us create that vision, and initiatives that can be undertaken to achieve those goals, based on insights received over many months of work with The Lakota Group.
Stop by at any point tonight at the Winnetka Community House from 6 – 8 PM and make your way through interactive stations to provide your thoughts.
Visit the Winnetka Futures Plan website to learn about the event and the process underway to develop the plan.
