Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA)

• Sep 2023 New HQ Springfield

More than 700 IEPA workers will move to White Oaks Mall; here's an update on construction. 40% of the work had been finished and the project completion was set for spring. Project has been in the works since 2020 when the state purchased the 14-acre lot on the north side of the mall for $3.5 million. The site was formerly home to Sears, one of the original anchor tenants.
The new headquarters – being built at a cost of $77 million, including purchasing the site and demolition work – is necessary as the IEPA's headquarters along North Grand Avenue sits in the path of planned improvements to Springfield's 9th Street rail corridor.
The mall project is in the second construction phase with CDB turning much of the former retail space into an office for more than 700 workers.
Upgrades to electrical, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and security systems are underway along with installation of new flooring, lighting, windows, restrooms, and sewer. But workers also have had to navigate a series of change orders – nearly $6 million worth – caused by the aging condition of the building. The change orders have upped the construction cost to $62.1 million.
IEPA plans to move employees and furniture into the new offices once major construction concludes in the spring. John Kim, IEPA's director. "This new building will allow us to keep our headquarters’ staff in one modern location with the bonus of the project having a goal of LEED Silver certification."

Illinois State Fire Marshal

• In Normal and Champaign, heard David-Adam units communicate with the local State Police post over the regular car-to-base frequency when arriving or leaving a location. (In Normal it was 42.720 and in Champaign it was 154.695). The David-Adam unit was also talking to District 10 on the lowband freq of 42.54 yesterday while en route to Logan County. Apparently they monitor VHF hi/lo as that unit assisted ISP with a few accidents on the interstate. Petroleum & Chemical Safety (Van seen in Madison County 12/06)
