Citizens For Responsible Development is a grassroots group of St. Charles citizens who came together in opposition to a proposed development along the  Fox River at the site of the old police station. 

Since defeating that project in Dec 2022, we have a continued mission to engage the citizens in our local community to actively participate in the decision process toward responsible development along our riverfront.

CFRD believes the Fox River is the crown jewel of our city. Our core beliefs center on responsible development along the riverfront.

Ekwabet watching over the Fox River. Ekwabet means "watching over" . CFRD is taking his role seriously

 Our core beliefs are rooted in responsible development along the Fox River:

  •  all development projects in downtown St. Charles should be self-funded

  •  public land is not given away for free

  • that future developments enhance citizen interaction 

  • that future developments maintain the charm of the downtown area.

  • We also strive to ensure that developments maintain or enhance the quality of life in the nearby neighborhoods.
