Comprehensive Plan

The 2030 Kankakee County Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the Kankakee County Board on November 8, 2005. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan is Kankakee County’s official policy guide to future land use, development, and conservation over the next twenty-five years. The Plan addresses county needs and opportunities while placing an emphasis on physical development, transportation, and services and facilities for the County and its municipalities. It is geographically comprehensive in coverage, in that it applies to all unincorporated areas of the County. It is long-range in orientation and intended to express general goals, policies, and implementation actions. Nevertheless, the Comprehensive Plan is also specific enough to guide day-to-day land use and development activities in the County.
