What we do

Our Planning and Community Development Division is a diverse team of professionals dedicated to making a positive impact on Champaign County's future. We work on a wide range of initiatives, including policy analysis, comprehensive planning, demographic studies, economic development, environmental assessments, geospatial information management, and technical analysis.

Many of our services are delivered through contractual agreements or are funded and governed by intergovernmental agreements. Some functions are directly funded by our RPC membership. Additionally, we extend our expertise beyond Champaign County through contract-based programs. In such cases, we add a 10 percent overhead charge to ensure that Champaign County programs remain financially self-sustaining, preventing the cross-subsidization of services provided outside the county with county resources. With a focus on excellence, we are committed to shaping a better and more sustainable future for our community.

Lincoln Avenue Corridor Study

In October of 2023, RPC hosted an open house for the Lincoln Avenue Corridor Study, seeking public input on Lincoln Avenue between Green Street and Florida Avenue. Along with other public engagement efforts, including online resources to learn about and provide feedback on the corridor, this outreach resulted in more than 300 survey responses and hundreds of specific comments on the corridor map. This public input will guide the corridor study team as they explore transportation improvements in this area!
