Village of Savoy Board of Trustees · May 6, 2026

Summary

Community Planner Caitlin Kelly presented the Village's Comprehensive Plan update, reporting 302 survey responses and an anticipated adoption in November 2026. The draft will emphasize downtown development, add measurable goals and reflect growth since the 2019 plan.

Community Planner Caitlin Kelly presented an update on the Village of Savoy’s Comprehensive Plan, saying the engagement phase is complete and 302 residents responded to the community survey. "The Comprehensive Plan serves as the Village’s primary policy document for future development and is typically updated every five to ten years," Kelly said.

Kelly said the update began in April 2025 and that the village has adopted a Parks Master Plan and a Stormwater Master Plan since the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. Survey respondents raised differing opinions about future growth, expressed interest in additional transportation options and connectivity, and voiced concerns about housing affordability. Kelly said the updated plan will place greater emphasis on downtown development and include more measurable goals.

Board members reviewed the survey themes and accomplishments since 2019; trustees noted that a presentation in August 2025 outlined completed and unmet goals. The Board agreed to provide additional comments and questions to Kelly by email over the next month. The Planner said final plan adoption is anticipated in November 2026.
