In order to accomplish several goals in the Village’s 2016 Comprehensive Plan to connect the Town Center/Main Street area to the Roselle Metra station, the Village Board is pursuing a TIF district. Final approval will be considered in January 2020.

Comprehensive Plan


The Village Board officially adopted the updated Comprehensive Plan at the August 22, 2016, Board meeting.
