City of Greenville, Illinois

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

IEBC, Overview:  https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IEBC2021P2

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.
