  • 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.

  • Madison County, Illinois
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY STUDY BACKGROUND The original MetroLink light rail system, opened in 1993, extended from Lambert Airport to East St. Louis, Illinois. Prior to that time, the East-West Gateway Council of Governments (EWGCOG) completed the St. Louis Systems Analysis for Major Transit Capital Investments. That document has since served as the blueprint for light rail planning in the region. Nine transportation corridors were identified in the Systems Analysis as potential locations for additional light rail transit (LRT). Included were two corridors into Madison County, Illinois. Potential corridors for light rail expansion were also included in the 1999 Madison County Long Range Transportation Plan. Figure ES-1 shows the MetroLink corridors and study areas throughout the St. Louis area. The original MetroLink line and the St. Clair extension were funded through the “New Starts” program under the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Local revenue (from the one-quarter cent transit sales tax approved in 1994) is the funding mechanism for the Cross County MetroLink line now under construction in St. Louis City and County. Federal funds will likely be required for a Madison County extension. STUDY PURPOSE To examine the opportunities for extending light rail into Madison County, EWGCOG entered into an agreement with Madison County Transit (MCT) to conduct this study. The primary goal of the study was to establish the general feasibility of implementing light rail in Madison County. Although the evaluation involved a variety of factors, the major issues were cost, ridership and financial funding capacity. See Figure ES-2 for an outline of the Study Area. The technical planning work of this feasibility study was integrated with a community engagement program to both inform and involve the public.

Abstract The objective of the project was to evaluate cost-effective means to implement laser scanning technology in the construction phase of IDOT projects. The primary goal was to study the use of a laser scanner for evaluating pay quantities for earthwork operations. The feasibility of using a scanner for other applications such as monitoring settlement due to pile driving, providing initial survey data for design, evaluating gravel and pavement thickness, assessing pavement roughness, surveying damaged bridges, and documenting archaeological investigations was also evaluated.
