Land Resource Management Plan for Champaign County

CCRPC has been contracted by Champaign County to create a Land Resource Management Plan for unincorporated areas of the county that are not considered part of municipal planning jurisdictions. This 30 month process will create policies that can be applied to future development and zoning.

Stimulus Funding in Champaign County

In early 2009, CCRPC created a list of "shovel ready" projects titled 2009 Project Profiles for Champaign County, Illinois to prepare for federal stimulus funding opportunities.  In April 2010, this report was followed by the Update on 2009 Stimulus Funding for Champaign County, Illinois.

Comprehensive Plan for Piatt County

CCRPC has been contracted by Piatt County to update their 1970 Comprehensive Plan. This 18 month process generally mirrors the LRMP process for Champaign County.

Champaign County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP)

CCRPC has been contracted by Champaign County to prepare a county-wide hazard mitigation plan that meets Federal Emergency Management Agency requirements. Participating jurisdictions will be eligible to apply for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds. The HMP development timeline extends through October 2009.

Champaign County Indicators

The Champaign County Indicators are the fulfillment of an objective created in the 2007 Champaign County Vision entitled our future. Champaign County expressed the desire and need for greater understanding of our community and movement towards achieving our goals. To this end, a set of indicators was proposed that relate to all objectives presented in the vision.

Work is in progress to further develop indicators and surveys that will help collect data that is currently unavailable.
