About Us

In 2006 Joliet Area community leaders,
eager to increase the pace of neighborhood
improvement, formed the Quality of Life
(QOL) Task Force. The QOL Task Force and
the City of Joliet administration agreed to
carry out a community-based planning
process with a team of consultants in order
to create a holistic plan for improving the
lives of Joliet Area residents in District's 4 &
5. The Plan would take an integrated
approach to quality of life improvements in
regard to
housing, recreation,
transportation, economic and retail  
development, industrial development and
employment, public infrastructure and
land use, education, and
human capital
issues that encompassed health care, crime
prevention, and the needs of youth and the
elderly. The
Plan would lay out a strategy
for leveraging the Planning Area’s assets to
overcome its problems through a series of
proposals for action, on three-year and ten-
year time horizons.
