The CCRP&DC was formed in 1967 by the Coles County Board to provide an array of services to local governments. Since the Commisssion was set up as a local government created public organization for the sole purpose of serving rural local governments, it strives to keep its cost as low as possible.
A complete range of services
The main goal of CCRP & DC is to provide the best professional service at a reasonable cost. The Commission's Staff consists of professionally trained and experienced individuals who can serve as "full-time" staff to part-time officials. Services provided by CCRP & DC range from planning, zoning, ADA transition plan preparation, Motor Fuel Tax services, census and business data, revolving loan fund administration, subdivision assistance, regional map repository, economic & community development, map preparation/graphics, GIS services, ordinance preparation/codification, historic preservation, grant preparation/administration and community administration and financial management.
We currently provide services to several communities and Counties within our six county region. These counties include Coles, Clark, Cumberland, Douglas, Edgar, and Moultrie.
