Vandewalle & Associates was hired by the Lincoln & Logan County
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 plan. Logan County was one of two communities in the
state of Illinois to receive full funding.
The development plan will analyze Logan County's 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 its marketing efforts.
This plan will look at not only the city of Lincoln, but also 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.
