The 10-Year Community Improvement Program (CIP) is a working document that allows the Village to map out priorities for investing in the Village's infrastructure (including water and sewer lines, roads, curbs and gutters) as well as capital equipment (such as ambulances and Public Works vehicles). Each year, actual expenditures proposed in the CIP are brought forth to the Village Board as part of the budget discussion. 

Help Shape Glencoe’s Future! The Village is starting the process of updating its comprehensive plan (which was last done in 1996!). This plan will provide a guide to coordinated, long-range growth and development through goals, policies and projects that implement our community’s vision for the future. The planning process will be informed by extensive community engagement and we hope to have participation from all of Glencoe, and look forward to hearing from you. 

The Village of Glencoe was incorporated in 1896. While little of our original public infrastructure remains, much of it is approaching multiple decades in age and needs replacement. Learn what projects are slated for the upcoming year. 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the Village of Glencoe are concerned about lead in your drinking water. Although the federal government banned the installation of lead service lines in 1986 and there are no lead mains in the Village water system, the Village estimates that there are over 500 private properties with lead service lines (of 3,100 total services). Some of these homes in the community may have lead levels above the US EPA action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb), or 0.015 milligrams of lead per liter of water (mg/l) and should take steps to reduce lead in their drinking water.

Tudor Court was identified in the Downtown Plan as presenting an opportunity for place-making through special streetscape treatments. To this end, the Village has enlisted the assistance of Teska Associates, an urban planning and design firm based in Evanston, IL, to facilitate community engagement around the Tudor Court enhancements.

The Water System Master Plan is comprised of two major initiatives: (1) the Water Distribution System Plan and (2) the Water Supply Planning Report. The Water Distribution System Plan is helping the Village to prioritize infrastructure projects (water mains, the water tower, fire hydrants), while the Water Supply Planning Report addresses options for the Water Treatment Plant moving forward, including the possibility of moving and rebuilding, renovating or closing the plant completely in favor of consolidating with another plant.
