Coles County planner presents comprehensive-plan update; Neoga council tables decision
Summary
Kelly Lockhart of Coles County Regional Planning presented a proposal to update Neoga's comprehensive plan, noting such plans guide land use and help with grant competitiveness; the council chose to table the recommendation pending further consideration of cost and timeline.
Kelly Lockhart, representing Coles County Regional Planning, presented a proposal for a comprehensive-plan update, explaining that a comprehensive plan guides long-term goals on land use, transportation, housing, and public services and that many grant applications ask whether a jurisdiction has a plan, which can add points to applications. Commissioner Letizia expressed concern about the proposed cost and the plan's timeline and asked to think about it; the council reached a consensus to table the item until the next meeting.
No vote to approve funding or to start the planning contract was taken; the minutes record the item as tabled. Council members requested additional consideration before committing to the proposed scope and cost.
