Welcome to the project website for the Village of Elburn's process to prepare a Parks Commission Strategic Plan. The Village is working in collaboration with Northern Illinois University's Center for Governmental Studies (NIU CGS) to conduct a process to gain insights, share perspectives, and undertake an exploration of the Parks Commission's future. The result of the process will be a thorough discussion of the Parks Commission's most critical goals, objectives, and organizational arrangements for both the short-term and long-term
