 The implementation phase will be called Logan 2.0 the GLLC
Initiative, with the acronym for Grow Lincoln & Logan County. The
GLLC Initiative will use community volunteers to review, accomplish
and recommend objectives from the plan. The implementation phase
uses the master plan's five major initiatives as its major points of
focus. These initiatives are called Building a Compelling Place;
21st Century Infrastructure and Cultivating Entrepreneurs; Leverage
Higher Education Assets; Capitalize on Hub Location; and Strengthen
Position as Illinois Wind Capital. Over the past month the
development partnership has sought volunteers to head each of these
initiatives. They looked for people outside of the partnership who
are not elected officials and who have specialized expertise in one
of the five major initiative areas. To date the partnership has
decided on three, all of whom are specialists in their field and
will bring the GLLC Initiative life, creativity and ingenuity. The
partnership is still looking for volunteer specialists in two
fields: Capitalizing on Hub Location and Strengthen Position as
Illinois Wind Capital. Volunteers should be Logan County residents
and have experience in one of the two fields.
More information regarding Logan 2.0 the GLLC Initiative will be
provided at the news conference.
