He made note that Sycamore has completed it’s Comprehensive Plan. He further noted that all the municipalities were making progress and that the Staff is meeting monthly and also working with the individual municipalities to keep the momentum going on the process. With respect to the County, a presentation was made last month to the Planning and Regulations Committee of the County Board.
