As we have previously announced, ILEAS received a $3 million grant from the State of Illinois through the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) to remodel the ILEAS Training Center (ITC). The grant is routed from through the City of Urbana to ILEAS as a sub-grantee. ILEAS is currently awaiting the final approval from DCEO. However, we have already issued an RFP for architectural services and selected IGW Architecture (IGW) from Urbana as the project architect. The project budget will be $2.975 million ($25,000 retained by Urbana for grant processing). Based on a previous feasibility study, the remodeling will focus on:
Bids for the asbestos removal will be going out within a week or two and the search for a contractor for the parking expansion and the general contractor will follow shortly afterwards. Once the remodeling is completed, ILEAS will have a community-wide open house to highlight what is available at the ITC for professional groups to rent/lease.
