City asks what ‘perfectly situated’ looks like

Council: Motto may play a bigger role in development

Council members last week discussed whether Elgin’s longstanding slogan should extend beyond marketing purposes and help shape how the city grows.

City Council explored what it means to be “perfectly situated” Jan. 6 and whether Elgin’s motto could serve as a guiding principle for future planning, development standards and community identity. No formal action was taken, but city staff was asked to gather community input for future consideration.
