Village of Algonquin |
 The
mission of the people of Algonquin is to foster a
harmonious, distinctive community with a strong sense of
place, preserving its ecological and historical
richness, providing a safe and comfortable environment
through a responsible use of community resources, and
developing ownership and pride in the community through
significant citizen involvement in all civic, social,
and cultural affairs. To this end, we will provide for
the needs of today, prepare for the demands of tomorrow,
and remain mindful and respectful of the past.
The Village of Algonquin prides itself on being a leader
in its use of sustainable practices. For years the
Village and its citizens have worked hard to have nature
preserves, recycling, energy efficiency, protected
natural areas, and abundant parkspace, while still
providing the services and amenities of a growing
metropolitan community. That stated, the Village of
Algonquin is pleased to present the concept of
ECO-ALGONQUIN! ECO-ALGONQUIN is not the latest fad,
trend, or buzzword; it's standard operating procedure.
Whether it is developing expansive parks and trails,
being recognized as a Tree City USA, converting grass
detention ponds into naturalized areas, or even using
vegetable oil for fueling our fleet; these are hardly
new initiatives but things the Village has been doing
for years. ECO-ALGONQUIN is designed to bring together
these wonderful programs and ideas to ENGAGE, CONSERVE,
and OPTIMIZE our resources to work toward building a
more sustainable Algonquin. |
