  • University Town Center at Glen Carbon
    WELCOME University Town Center (“UTC”) is envisioned to be: “A regional mixed-use destination retail and life-style project. The University Town Center project is a 900+ acre destination mixed-use retail and entertainment project that will have a substantial impact on the St. Louis Metropolitan area and beyond. It will be located in Glen Carbon, Madison County, Illinois, at the intersection of I-270 and Route 157 & I-255 and Route 162 – less than two (2) miles from Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville, 4.5 miles from Southwestern Illinois College, “The Sam Wolf Granite City Campus”, and 21 miles from Lewis and Clark Community College. Economic Impact According to an analysis from PGAV Urban Consulting, in the first year of operation, UTC is expected to generate nearly half a million dollars ($496,000) in state income taxes and more than $3.2 million by Year 10. Property taxes at full operation are expected to be $16 million and escalate yearly thereafter. Taxes from Building materials is estimated at $34 million. The project is expected to generate a total of $15.5 million in state income taxes during the construction phases. All phases combined would account for a total economic construction impact (direct, indirect and induced) of over $1.5 billion and increase local income by $569 million. (Department of Economics and Finance School of Business Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville) The project is estimated to create 10,000 construction jobs and 3,100 full-time equivalent jobs. Local schools will substantially benefit from this project. Once the development is complete, the local schools are projected to receive more than $9,500,000 a year through Property Taxes.

  • Improvements on I-270 from Chain of Rocks Canal to I-255 Madison County, Illinois
    IMPROVEMENTS ON I-270 FROM CHAIN OF ROCKS CANAL TO I-255 MADISON COUNTY, ILLINOIS DRAFT SECTION 4(f) EVALUATION Submitted Pursuant to 49 USC 303 by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration and Illinois Department of Transportation DECEMBER 15, 2020 ___________________________________ Date of Approval For FHWA The following persons may be contacted for additional information concerning this document: Ms. Arlene K. Kocher Mr. Keith Roberts Division Administrator Acting Deputy Director, Region 8 Engineer Federal Highway Administration Illinois Department of Transportation 3250 Executive Park Drive 1102 Eastport Plaza Springfield, Illinois 62703 Collinsville, Illinois 62234 ABSTRACT: The proposed undertaking involves improvements along Interstate 270 (I-270) from Chain of Rocks Canal to Interstate 255 (I-255) in Madison County Illinois. While the project study area limits extend from Riverview Drive in Missouri to Illinois Route 157 (IL 157) in Illinois, the improvements from Riverview Drive in Missouri to Chain of Rocks canal will be addressed as part of the new Mississippi River bridge project. Based on the evaluation completed during the engineering analysis, no improvements are currently needed on I-270 from the I-255 interchange to IL 157 to meet the project purpose and need. Therefore, the termini for the proposed improvements will be from the Chain of Rocks Canal to the I-255 interchange in Madison County, Illinois. I-270 will be widened to accommodate 3 lanes in each direction and 12-foot shoulders will be provided on both sides, with barrier wall down the median. Interchange improvements throughout the corridor include the conversion of the IL Route 3 interchange into a partial cloverleaf interchange, the conversion of the Illinois Route 111 (IL 111) interchange into a diverging diamond interchange and the Illinois Route 203 (IL 203) interchange will be reconstructed to improve the ramp configuration.
