LAKE COUNTY – According to population projections developed by the state’s Department of Finance, Lake County will be over 50 percent larger in 2030 than it is today.

This growth raises major questions: Where will people live, work, shop, and play? What services will they need? How can communities maintain their character, protect cultural and natural resources, and also improve the quality of life?

Finally, what will Lake County look like in 2030?

The Lake County/City Area Planning Council (Lake APC) is developing a long-range vision for the County, called “Lake County 2030” that will provide guidance to elected officials and planners for the future of the County.

Approximately 100 Lake County residents have recently attended interactive workshops as part of the final stage of the outreach process.

Although the workshops have concluded, there is still an opportunity for residents to learn about Lake County 2030 and register opinions through an online survey that follows the same format at the workshops.

The survey is available at www.lakeapc.org. Click on the “Lake County 2030” link on the right side of the page. It will be online through April 15.

For more information, please call Terri Persons at Lake APC, 707-263-7799, 711 (TTY), or e-mail her at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
