Along with Sangamon County and the City of Springfield, the Commission assists other cities, villages and special districts with planning activities. This includes the Commission's public participation and outreach work, and work with a number of city and county boards and commissions.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
CORRIDORS
Each year the Springfield-Sangamon County Regional Planning Commission takes on special planning and research projects that provide timely information to state and local leaders as well as residents. SSCRPC regularly monitors State, Federal and other critical agencies to help ensure that Sangamon County and our partnering jurisdictions and organizations have the information resources they need to effectively plan and implement new projects, programs and activities. Consistent with our mission, the Commission also regularly pursues unique projects and special funding opportunities that improve the programs and services we provide.
The development and redevelopment of commercial and residential corridors creates special problems for communities as it requires a mix of planning skills. These projects most often require planning that includes expertise in demographic and market analysis, business development, community assessment, transportation, land use planning, and urban design.
The MacArthur Boulevard Master Plan was completed in February of 2011 and can be downloaded in sections below.
