Jacksonville residents are being asked to complete a survey aimed at developing a new comprehensive plan for the city.
The Jacksonville Regional Economic Development Corporation in collaboration with city and county leaders and the Illinois Housing Development Authority is working to develop a new housing needs assessment for the City of Jacksonville.
JREDC President Kristin Jamison says responses to the Community Needs Assessment Survey will provide valuable feedback from Jacksonville residents that will directly impact decisions made during a new community revitalization effort.

We initially had a meeting with IHDA, the Illinois Housing Development Authority, to talk about the fact that it’s time for the City of Jacksonville to be thinking about a comprehensive plan. It’s been over twenty years since the last one was unveiled and a lot of that work has been accomplished. Mayor Andy Ezard is intent on working towards another new comprehensive plan.
