Master Plan
The City of Oak Park Economic Development Department developed a Master Plan update that creates a clear set of objectives and provides direction for development and enhancement of the City over the next five years. Areas of focus include land use, community facilities, recreation, complete streets, and priority development sites.
The Economic Development Department worked closely with the general public, other City staff, the Recreation Department, the Oak Park Library, Planning Commission, and the City Council to develop the Master Plan.
