A Plan for the Old Town Area of Carpentersville
On July 10, 2012, the Village of Carpentersville Board of Trustees officially adopted the Village of Carpentersville's Old Town Plan, which is the product of a community planning process that began in September 2011. The final plan is available for download here.
The Village of Carpentersville's Old Town Area has many historic strengths and community assets that provide a high quality of life for its residents, shoppers, and employees.

Public Engagement
The third phase of public engagement was an Open House format, which was held in the Carpentersville Village Hall from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 7, 2012. With no formal presentation during this open house, nearly 100 attendees --including elected officials, residents, and business owners -- dropped by to review and comment on the draft Old Town Area plan's recommendations.
In addition to the February Open House, the public has had multiple opportunities to participate in this planning process. In November, 2011, the public contributed during the first phase of the Old Town Area plan by attending the kick-off meeting to discuss issues that the plan should address in addition to sharing their ideas about how the Old Town Area should look in the future.
