The City of McHenry is a diverse community offering a variety of housing choices, a wide range of employ- ment options and unparalleled access to recreational activities. Located at the heart of the Fox River, just 50 miles northwest of Chicago, McHenry has been able to retain its small town charm despite being located in one of Illinois' fastest growing counties.

One of the many distinctive features of McHenry is its Downtown. Stretching from the Fox River west to just past the Union Pacific RR Tracks, Downtown McHenry has a diversity of retail, service, residential and recreational uses, and blends traditional architectural styles with new. Recognizing that the Downtown is the economic heart of McHenry, City Leaders have taken steps to maintain and enhance this valuable as- set, including:

 Establishment of a TIF District. A Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District was created in January of 2002, encompassing a portion of the Downtown. Properties located within the TIF District may be eligible for redevelopment assistance.

 Construction of Riverwalk. The first phase of the Riverwalk, stretching from Green Street to Riverside Drive, is currently open.

 Adoption of Downtown Master Plan.. The Downtown Master Plan, adopted in December of 2003, is the City’s official policy guide for physical improvement and development within Downtown McHenry and in 2009 the City Council approved the Core Downtown Sub-Area Plan, an updated look at the central downtown. The McHenry Theater is in the process of being redeveloped into a new state-of-the-art theater with restaurant.
