The City is requesting proposals (RFP) for a study of the South River Street Gateway District area of the community. This corridor is one of the main entries into the City and is an important access route to downtown Batavia. The project area includes the southern portion of Illinois State Route 25 through the City limits. The area includes many different uses, ranging from public facilities and parks, industrial and office uses, entertainment venues and riverfront properties. The City is seeking to revitalize and reinvigorate the South River Street area by developing a plan to study land uses, zoning, streetscape as well as developing changes to the regulatory scope of this corridor. The boundaries of the corridor are identified on the map attached to this RFP. As part of the project, the City would seek an analysis of potential financing methods to fund improvements in this area on public and private property. Possible options and analysis should include, but not be limited to, Tax Increment Financing District, Business Development District and Special Service Areas. Please see the attached RFP document for additional information.
