Village of Elburn Feasibility Study

In cooperation with the Northern Illinois University Government Studies Group, PLAN4ACTION conducted extensive research to decide whether or not to form a park district to better serve their respective community with parks, recreation and open space. A current structure and conditions assessment was completed along with comprehensive data driven reporting to determine demand and demographic effectiveness.

Research also was conducted to provide officials with the various options available to the Village in providing park and recreational programs, services and facilities along with a SWOT analysis of each potential option. This also included a cost-benefit analysis along with property tax implications based on each potential feasible option. Last, we provided a protocol and process required through state laws and various provisions on how to form a park district if this option was chosen.
