Village of Goreville Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Page 3 To promote economic development, the Village of Goreville has created a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) dis- trict. Developers who plan to construct or renovate in a TIF district are able to receive some reimbursement for the development from dollars that would be paid to property taxing districts because of the increase valuation of the property with the improve- ments. Goreville’s TIF districts are unique, in that we understand, what is good for the com- munity is good for the school and what is good for the school is good for the commu- nity.

  • Chapter Provides Information on EGC ESP Site Location, On-Site
    CHAPTER 2 Site Characteristics This chapter provides information on the EGC ESP Site location, on-site activities and controls, present and projected population distribution, meteorological, hydrological, geological, and seismological characteristics. The purpose of presenting this information is to provide the bases for demonstrating the adequacy of the site characteristics from a site safety viewpoint and to provide input to support environmental characterization. The influence of the EGC ESP site characteristics on the design and operation of a possible future nuclear power facility will be assessed at the construction and operating license (COL) stage pursuant to 10 CFR 52 Subpart C. REV2 2-1 CHAPTER 2 - SITE CHARACTERISTICS SITE SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT FOR EGC EARLY SITE PERMIT SECTION 2.1 – GEOGRAPHY AND DEMOGRAPHY 2.1 Geography and Demography 2.1.1 Site Location and Description 2.1.1.1 Specification of Location The EGC ESP Facility will be co-located on the property of the existing CPS Facility and its associated 4,895 ac man-made cooling reservoir (Clinton Lake) (CPS, 2002). The EGC ESP Facility will be located approximately 700 ft south of the existing CPS Facility. The CPS Facility lies within Zone 16 of the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. The exact UTM coordinates for the EGC ESP Facility will depend upon the specific reactor technology selected for deployment and will be finalized at COL. As shown on Figures 1.2-1 and 2.1-1 there is a complex transportation system surrounding the EGC ESP Site. The nearest major highways are Illinois State Routes 54, 10, and 48, all of which cross the CPS Facility property.

  • Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois
    Outdoor Recreational Needs & The Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois Department of Natural Resources December 3, 2018 Introduction In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) entered into agreement with the City of Springfield to manage city-owned property surrounding the City’s proposed secondary water supply (Hunter Lake). The City has already acquired 7,138 acres for the project located in southeastern Sangamon County. The lake is expected to cover 2,560 surface-acres with water. Outdoors recreation generates about $32 billion in economic activity each year for the State of Illinois, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All this activity supports 90,000 jobs statewide. As the population of the United States continues its gradual migration from rural to urban areas (U.S. Census Bureau), demand for recreational land, open space and hunting and fishing opportunities will continue to grow. With 95 percent of Illinois land in private hands, the state ranks 46th in terms of land in public ownership. The IDNR owns and manages about 480,000 acres. The partnership between the City and IDNR is intended to provide additional public access for outdoor recreation, education and habitat conservation on Hunter Lake and its surrounding area. The City concluded the IDNR is the appropriate state agency to help the City achieve this objective. IDNR has statutory authority to manage the state’s fish and wildlife resources. To this end, the City chose to enter a Memorandum of Cooperation with IDNR (Appendix A) and tasked the Agency with managing the property’s outdoors potential for recreational opportunity, including hunting, fishing, bird-watching, biking, hiking and camping.
