John Shimkus S C I R P D C F Y - 2020- 2 0 2 2 C E D S Page iv Forward The South Central Illinois Regional Planning & Development Commission (SCIRPDC) submits a new Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) to the Economic Development Administration every three years to show the performance of the prior three years, and to provide a new set regional goals and objectives for the next three-year funding cycle. This document also aids the membership with development and implementation of a regional plan of action, and identifying investment priorities and funding sources for the Economic Development District (EDD). The CEDS provides up-to-date demographic information for the region in order to paint a realistic picture of the current economic condition. Analyzed data was derived from the U.S. Census Bureau, the District’s Cluster Analysis, and other government agencies. It is SCIRPDC’s goal to work together with public officials, community and private sector leaders, higher education institutions, and non-profit organization in order to implement the CEDS. Ultimately, SCIRPDC envisions a living document that will not only record past efforts in economic development, but point the region in the direction that will foster the creation of a successful economy in South Central Illinois. South Central Illinois Regional Planning & Development Commission provides solutions to the challenges of local government. A multitude of programs and projects are initiated each year at the federal, state, regional, and local levels. Your regional planning commission creates the needed venue and framework to coordinate these programs and goals into a whole. It is the Commission’s function to take the goals and objectives within this document and turn them into success for the five-county EDD

  • IDOT Conservation Plan
    IDOT Conservation Plan State-threatened Eastern Sand Darter, Ammocrypta pellucida, and State endangered Smooth Softshell, Apalone mutica, which inhabit the Embarras River in the vicinity of the proposed Embarras River Bridge Replacement Project near Newton, IL in Jasper County, IL. 1. Description of the impact likely to result from the proposed taking. A. Introduction The Proposed project is for the construction of a shared use trail in the City of Newton which will provide access from an existing trail to Peterson Park. The project has an anticipated construction timeframe beginning in the Spring 2020 with completion approximately 1 year later (weather and river dependant). The scope of work includes creating a Riverwalk and installing a retaining wall. See location Map included as Appendix D for location of instream work. The total length of the project is 0.81 miles (500’ (0.1 mile) of the 0.81 miles will be instream work). The project will be conducted within existing Right-of-Way so there will be no land acquisition. There will be in stream work to the Embarras River. IDNR’s response to the EcoCAT on May 18, 2018 recommended obtaining an Incidental Take Authorization (ITA) for the state-threatened Eastern Sand Darter and the state-endangered Smooth Softshell turtle in order to minimize or avoid potential adverse impacts to these species. A determination for all other natural resources in the project vicinity can be found in the Natural Resources Review Memo (NRR) (Attached as appendix C). B. Legal Description of the Project Area The project is located West of IL Route 33 in Jasper County, Illinois.

Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles.
