Don't forget! Join us on September 28 to celebrate the 2040 Regional Framework Plan and launch its implementation phase

Celebrate the 2040 REGIONAL FRAMEWORK PLAN and launch its implementation phase on Wednesday, September 28, 2005 at 10:15 a.m. on the 99th floor of the Sears Tower. The plan is based on an intensive public-involvement process led by the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC), which yielded a vision of the region's future by the year 2040:

Northeastern Illinois will be a region of livable communities, built on the diversity of its people, known for its healthy natural environment, global competitiveness, and governed collaboratively.

See the agenda for this event, which will include an introduction to a new multimedia CD, "Realizing the Vision," that will be used in coming months by NIPC and its partners to build support for the 2040 Plan across the region.  In keeping with the framework plan's purpose of conveying a positive legacy to residents of the future, we will create a time capsule with special artifacts to commemorate the occasion, including photographs and signatures of the attendees.

BE PART OF THIS EXCITING EVENT! Be sure to RSVP: 312-454-0401 x408 or info@nipc.org
