Summary

A proposed expansion of the Gateway Commerce Center enterprise zone to add roughly 93.77 acres in Edwardsville for Plocher Construction was postponed for a month to allow intergovernmental and economic development partners more review time.

The Madison County Board on June 16 postponed for one month a Grants Committee proposal to expand the Gateway Commerce Center Enterprise Zone to include about 93.77 acres of Edwardsville property offered for industrial development.

Committee documents described the expansion as intended to help developer Plocher Construction attract businesses to the site near Plummer Family Park and Interstate 55. The Grants Committee and staff recommended the county approve the boundary amendment subject to comparable action by Edwardsville and Pontoon Beach and approval by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

Board members moved to postpone the resolution and an implementing ordinance to allow additional review; the motion to postpone carried unanimously (24–0). The county clerk recorded the postponement; the matter will return to the Grants Committee and county board in July.
