Click the button below to view the adopted Hickory Hills Comprehensive Plan! The Plan not only describes a guiding vision and a set of aspirations for the future but also serves as a framework for making well-informed decisions on local land use and the community’s long-term growth and development. Thank you to all who played a part in shaping the Plan including residents, stakeholders, local leadership, and the incredible staff with the City.




The City of Hickory Hills partnered with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) to create its first Comprehensive Plan and establish a vision and land use strategy for the City. The Plan will help residents and elected, and appointed officials guide future actions, decisions, and development in the community. The current challenges over the last year and a half have shown us that the way we live, work, shop, connect, and play is constantly evolving. People have new expectations and aspirations for the places they call home. We want to make Hickory Hills the best it can be now and into the future. 


The Planning Team crafted an extensive and collaborative engagement program for this planning process to ensure the success of the Hickory Hills Comprehensive Plan. The program incorporated numerous engagement opportunities throughout each phase of the project, including an online website with engagement activities, the formation of a steering committee, interviews with local stakeholders, community-wide surveys, and community open houses and pop-up events. Accessibility was a key driving force of the program, incorporating multi-lingual opportunities and online exercises and partnering with community advocates to help expand our reach.
