Making Great 
Communities Happen
in Illinois

 

 



The results are in! The winners of the 2012 APA-IL Awards Program are listed below. This year we received 39 nominations – a wonderful demonstration of the high-quality planning work being done around Illinois. This year, we once again entered into an arrangement with the Missouri Chapter of American Planning Association (APA-MO) to “swap” the jurying of the awards. This process was mutually beneficial and allowed all communities to participate since no juror’s community would be conflicted out of competition. Thank you to all volunteer jury members and APA-MO.
