Illinois Tomorrow
- Balanced Growth for a Better Quality of Life
The Illinois Tomorrow Initiative is a bold,
coordinated approach to balanced growth for communities
throughout the state of Illinois. It promotes voluntary
state/local partnerships and focuses on state programs that
invest in existing communities. ILLINOIS TOMORROW is a
comprehensive effort guided by the core principles of
reducing traffic congestion, preserving open space,
encouraging reinvestment and redevelopment, enhancing the
quality of life, and encouraging local government
partnership.
As part of the ILLINOIS TOMORROW initiative, the
Corridor Planning Grant Program was created to help
local governments develop land use and
infrastructure plans that promote the efficient use
of transportation facilities and enhance quality of
life.
For more information regarding the Corridor Planning Grant
Program, please contact your local metropolitan planning
organization or the Illinois Department of Transportation at
