Growth Task Force Issues Recommendations
On
February 4, the Illinois
Growth Task Force, a bipartisan legislative group studying
growth and development in the state for the past two years,
released its final report. Task Force recommendations include
support for open space and agricultural land preservation,
coordination of state capital spending and programs with
local and regional plans, and compilation of a full inventory
of zoning and building codes. The report also recommends
state capital spending and programs consistent with principles
of balanced growth, including reducing traffic congestion,
preserving open space, promoting reinvestment and redevelopment,
increasing the quality of life and supporting local government
partnerships.
Specific
recommendations are posted on the Campaign
for Sensible Growth Web site.
