Bourbonnais Downtown Plan
Concept Plan

Downtown Bourbonnais is both a local attraction and a regional destination. The downtown attracts people because of its unique physical setting and the activities that take place there. The physical setting is that of a traditional downtown, but it is unique in terms of pedestrian amenities, distinctive architecture, civic design elements and sense of heritage. The activities within the downtown include distinctive shops, restaurants, entertainment and community events. The downtown also connects with events of regional importance that occur near the downtown, such as the Chicago Bears preseason camp and Olivet Nazarene events. Participants in these events use the downtown to extend the experience by having a meal, lodging, shopping or strolling through the downtown.
