Dupo Comprehensive Plan
Dupo Comprehensive Plan Project Overview
The Dupo Comprehensive Plan is a thorough 12-month planning initiative led by Moran Economic Development to chart a strategic path for the Village’s future. Central to this process is community engagement, where public input forms the backbone of our recommendations.
Utilizing a blend of qualitative and quantitative data, the plan evaluates the community’s existing conditions, ensuring that our strategies are grounded in real-world insights. Key components of the plan include:
- Housing and Neighborhoods: Strategies to enhance residential areas and foster vibrant communities.
- Economic Development: Initiatives aimed at boosting local businesses and attracting new investments.
- Infrastructure and Utilities: Plans to improve essential services and enhance connectivity throughout the Village.
- Land Use: Guidelines for sustainable development that balances growth with environmental stewardship.
- Quality of Life: Recommendations that focus on enhancing the overall well-being of residents through recreational and cultural opportunities.
Each element of the Dupo Comprehensive Plan, developed by Moran Economic Development, is designed with specific, actionable, and trackable strategies, ensuring that the Village can effectively monitor progress and achieve its desired outcomes.
Community Engagement Activities
To gather public input, we hosted two open houses:
Open House #1
This event was held at the local high school and attracted approximately 30 attendees, who were invited via social media and word of mouth. Participants shared their thoughts on Dupo’s strengths and the challenges facing the community.
Open House #2
Instead of asking the public to attend a traditional open house, we engaged attendees at the Village’s Chili Cookoff. Building on feedback from the first open house and issues identified by the Plan Commission, we encouraged the community to identify their top priorities.
