Our Story

Citizens for Responsible Development is an independent group of St Charles citizens who galvanized against what was considered to be an irresponsible development being considered for the riverfront redevelopment of the old St Charles Police Department complex north of our Municipal Center.

You will probably remember us from our original website and our online petition. Many of you probably signed and supported our efforts!

Our mission

To engage the citizens in our local community to actively participate in the decision process toward responsible development. Responsible development will ensure long-term opportunities for economic prosperity and enhance the quality of life for citizens, stakeholders, businesses, local government, and visitors to our area.
