Call Center Facility 35,000 to 50,000 Sq Ft
Attached is a Call Center RFI with the code name of Project Classical. Communities may respond directly to the Colliers Analyst, David Kranjcevic, with facility and community details, but please copy me, david.pierson@illinois.gov as well. There is no questionnaire to complete. The submission deadline is Tuesday, October 20, 2009.

Note the project contact, David Kranjcevic, and Colliers International, also represented the Project Jazz call center project in June. The requirements are similar, but somewhat different. In this case search parameters indicate this client is more open to retrofitting office or retail space. And, again there is a population requirement. This time the RFI states communities/counties/metro areas with a population greater than 100,000 people. Previously the given level population within a 30 mile commute distance of the proposed sites was acceptable as well. Lastly, call center saturation rate was defined as the total number of call center employees in a given community (county or metro) / total labor force for the community.

Proposed Historic Preservation Tax Credit Act
Federal Historic Tax Credits are a major incentive that helps older cities renew declining neighborhoods. The tax credit makes the preservation and renewal of older buildings much more likely, and is an important factor in revializing older neighborhoods.
A number of States have similar programs. The following draft act is based on the successful acts used in the State of Kansas and Missouri. If Illinois passed a similar act, we anticipate a substantial increase in redevelopment of older neighborhoods.
The passage of an act like this would greatly help the redevelopment of older neighborhoods such as Renaissance Park and the Warehouse District.
