This chapter presents a historical and current view of
Mount Prospect and creates a community profile as of 2006. The chapter presents
information on the Village’s population, housing, economic development,
transportation, utilities, community facilities, land-use, zoning, and
annexations. Understanding the characteristics of Mount Prospect -- both the
physical built-environment and the composition of the community’s residents --
is important for a number of reasons, all of which will contribute to how land
use in the community could change in the future.
Chapter 2 illustrates that the presence of Randhurst
Shopping Center, Kensington Business Park, and many other commercial districts
show that Mount Prospect’s location, amenities, and services have proven to be
attractive to the business community. This in turn leads to the availability of
jobs, goods, and services for our residents, and a diverse revenue base for
government services, creating an attractive quality of life which the Village
seeks to preserve, protect, and enhance.
