How much land will be preserved?
There is no preset amount of land or percentage of land being considered. The planning process identifies land already designated as existing or planned open space in various comprehensive land use plans and then considers other high quality natural areas to preserve. The plan shows the amount of land necessary to preserve the unique, scenic and high quality natural resources found in Kendall County. However, any area identified on the plan as potential open space will not be targeted for involuntary acquisition. The natural resources base, along with what the public wants and is willing to pay, will ultimately determine the amount of land to be preserved.
