SIU plans two area rezoning for university zone in Carbondale
Southern Illinois University will submit a new rezoning request within two weeks to create an university zone in two areas of Carbondale. The plan commission previously rejected a broader proposal, citing areas outside the intended expansion. Rendleman said the new request will cover only properties the university intends to buy, excluding blocks north of Hester Street and the Illinois Avenue corridor south of Mill Street. The boundaries would form east and west rectangles, aiming to prevent expensive buildings without state financing. Objections cited could depress property values and protect homeowner values. The university says it will pursue property acquisition regardless of rezoning outcomes.

Store Front Renovation Step Delayed in Carbondale
Carbondale property owners on the 100 and 200 blocks of South Illinois avenue postponed plans for downtown storefront renovation until at least next year. Archie Stroup, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Downtown Renovation Committee, said the drive has lost steam as owners slowed plans and two withdrew from the agreement. Renovation of the blocks was to be in a single contract to save money, amid new shopping center plans on South Illinois avenue sites near Freeman street and University avenue.
