Springfield-Sangamon County Regional Plan

The Lakota Group was engaged by the Springfield-Sangamon County Regional Planning Commission to prepare a Regional Plan for Sangamon County, which includes the City of Springfield and 26 other townships, municipalities and unincorporated communities. The Plan was part of a multi-year stakeholder engagement process undertaken by the Springfield-Sangamon County Regional Planning Commission to determine critical regional planning issues related to land use, economic development, agriculture, open space and recreation, historic preservation and tourism, sustainability and quality of life, and intergovernmental cooperation and efficiency. The Plan addressed these issues through a series of detailed planning strategies and implementation actions. The Plan also includes recommended land use development strategies for important transportation corridors and the region’s small towns and hamlets.
