Chad Sperry, Faculty Associate in Department of Geography and GIS Center Manager, has received funding in the amount of $83,160 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for his project entitled, "Utility Mapping Services for City of Macomb, Illinois."  The project duration is August 29,
2007 through June 28, 2008. The mapping of infrastructure will greatly assist the City in appropriately identifying areas for growth, infill, development, redevelopment and the preservation of open spaces/environmental corridors.  It is anticipated that the infrastructure mapping will also enable modeling related to water quality issues on the LaMoine River north of Meredosia, Illinois.
