New 2021 Building Code Information

All municipalities in Illinois are required to adopt 2018 or newer building codes for the 2015 International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), and International Existing Building Code (IEBC) by January 1, 2025.  The City of Greenville has adopted 2015 IBC, IRC, and IEBC code, and has determined that the best new version to adopt is the 2021 edition.  As advised by the Illinois Municipal League ( IML), the city would not want to adopt the 2024 version of the code because often the latest code restrictions prove to be problematic and are subsequently amended by the controlling bodies (not the city of Greenville).  Like purchasing a new model vehicle that the manufacturer has not worked out all the kinks. 

 

Most of the changes were organizational in nature to apply the existing local amendments to the new 2021 IBC, IRC, and IEBC. Overall, we did not make many substantive changes because our goal was to preserve the existing local amendments to the greatest extent possible. The substantive changes to the local amendments are summarized below:

 

IBC, Overview:  https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IBC2021P2

IRC, Overview:  https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IRC2021P3

New Water Treatment Facility

The City of Greenville is making a major leap forward in public infrastructure with the construction of a new, state-of-the-art water treatment facility. This significant upgrade is designed to enhance water quality, increase processing capacity, and meet the future needs of the growing Greenville community.
The new water treatment plant will have the capacity to process 3.456 million gallons of water per day, ensuring a safe and reliable water supply for residents and businesses alike. The facility incorporates modern engineering and environmental standards.
The plant will continue to source raw water from the 770-acre Governor Bond Lake and will utilize an advanced eight-step purification process to deliver high-quality drinking water to the Greenville area.
“This project reflects Greenville’s long-term commitment to public health, infrastructure sustainability, and responsible stewardship of our natural resources,” said city officials. “We are excited to bring this much-needed upgrade to the residents and businesses who rely on a safe, dependable water supply every day.”

GREENVILLE WINS $1.9 MILLION STATE GRANT FOR DOWNTOWN PLAZA

 

The City of Greenville will be moving forward on a new downtown pavilion with a stage and bandstand to accommodate music and theatrical events thanks to the announcement of the city being awarded a $1.9 million state grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

The Greenville Plaza Project will also include a welcome center, public restrooms, ADA-accessible ramps, and outdoor seating for dining and public events. The public plaza is a 100% municipal project and will cost $2.5 million. The state grant of $1.9 million under the competitive Downtowns and Illinois Main Streets Capital Program will be joined by a local match of federal American Rescue Plan Act funds, City funds and potential legacy gifts, to fund 20-25% (or $625,000) of the project. The construction effort will create dozens of jobs for skilled carpenters, electricians, operators, iron workers, laborers, cement masons and other high-quality tradespeople.
