Cherie Murphy and Vince Cuchetto, representing the City Manager’s office will lead a discussion about the mindset of our community and our future. This is not intended to be a complaint session, but rather an open dialogue. Some of the questions to consider:

  • Do you like living in Elgin?  Why/why not?
  • What do you see as Elgin’s greatest assest and what sets us apart from surrounding communities?
  • What things about Elgin make it a city?  What makes it suburban?
  • If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?
  • If Elgin were a person, how would you describe it?

We look forward to a great meeting!
