on the east edge, tying back into US 67 north of Hospital Road.
All interested persons are invited to attend and participate in
the hearing.

The Department has initiated "Corridor Protection" activities
in accordance with Illinois Compiled Statutes, 605 ILCS 514-510
of the Illinois Highway Code. This action will consist of a procedure
whereby the public is informed of the location and approximate right-of-way
required for the project so that costly and conflicting development
of the land involved may be prevented. The hearing will allow the
public an opportunity to provide comment on the "Corridor Protection"
plan.
