 Vandewalle & Associates was hired by the development partnership
through a USDA grant.
In November 2009, the partnership received a $50,000 Rural
Development Business Opportunity Grant through the United States
Department of Agriculture for the purpose of creating an economic
development master plan. Logan County was one of two communities in
the state of Illinois to receive full funding.
The master plan will analyze the Logan County Comprehensive Plan
along with growth areas and provide a road map for economic
development growth for the entire county, including business
recruitment and the incentives needed to attract these businesses.
By identifying the types of companies best suited for the area, the
partnership can target their marketing efforts.
The economic development plan will look at not only the city of
Lincoln, but the agricultural areas and outlying communities in
Logan County.
The Lincoln & Logan County Development Partnership is the
economic development agency for Logan County serving businesses,
government, and residents of Logan County. The partnership's mission
is to enhance the economic prosperity and quality of life in Logan
County.
