The Village of Woodlawn Master Plan was
commenced in 2006. The Master Plan was designed to help
the Village’s officials, administration, residents and
business operators develop a shared understanding of
Woodlawn’s future needs and the best strategies for
ensuring a successful future. Like many older suburban
communities, Woodlawn benefits from a number of assets,
but it also faces a number of challenges, both today and
into the future. The Village understood from the beginning
that their Master Plan must achieve several goals:
-
The Master Plan must be based on a clear-eyed, realistic
evaluation of the Village, including its assets, its
challenges, its regional context and the likely impacts
of these issues over the coming 10 to 20 years.
-
The Master Plan must draw on the meaningful, active
feedback of the Village’s stakeholders, including its
residents, its business operators and its own municipal
staff.
-
The Master Plan must develop a vivid statement of its
Vision for its future – a statement that encapsulates
the direction in which the Village intends to grow.
-
The Master Plan must design an ambitious but achievable
program of improvements that will give the Village the
capacity and the methods for achieving that Vision.
-
The Master Plan must lay the groundwork for its
implementation by developing a specific plan of action
for making its recommendations become reality.
This document reflects the best efforts of a large number
of Woodlawn residents, officials, business operators and
others to meet these high goals.
