Representatives from Hitchcock Design Group (Landscape Architecture Consultant) are scheduled to update the Board of Commissioners on the Jubilee Point Park Phase 2 design development plans currently at 30% completion at the November 21, 2023, Regular Board Meeting.
Also, representatives from the Conservation Foundation (natural areas assurance program consulting), an ecologist from Graf Tree Care, Inc. (tree care/urban forestry consultant) and Parks, Planning & Development Professional Staff will recap and comment on the “2018 Town Centre Existing Trees Inventory Report” and share recommended best management practices to be included in the proposed “Jubilee Point Park Natural Areas Management Plan.” These professionals will assist the District in assessing and finalizing a framework for a site-specific plan to enhance ecological value, increase biodiversity and perform ongoing conservation management of specific areas identified within the 44-acre property.
In keeping with extensive resident and stakeholder feedback obtained through multiple previous Town Centre community engagement forums, efforts continue towards finalizing a design development plan that will work in harmony with the Natural Areas Management Plan to create a balance of park, recreational and conservation spaces within Jubilee Point Park and the entire Town Centre area. The final design development plan will be consistent with the approved Town Centre Master Plan and Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Open Space Land Acquisition & Development (OSLAD) grant guidelines.
