Hullinger to Lead City's Strategic Planning Committee

Ald. Nancy Hullinger (5th Ward) will help develop a plan for Oak Forest, as head of the next strategic planning committee.

Mayor Hank Kuspa announced Hullinger's role at Tuesday's city council meeting.

Discussions exploring potential city improvements will begin in May and will focus on a select few projects, said Mayor Hank Kuspa. Input from residents, business owners and other city officials will be incorporated. Department heads and other staff will become more involved as future plans develop, Kuspa said.

"You learn a lot, and you can really get some good ideas," Hullinger said. "It starts off with a small group and it builds and builds and builds, until you have a finished product."
