Southern Illinois Recreation Plan Aims Regional Growth
A master plan for Illinois recreation proposes using Land and Water Conservation Act funds to acquire land near urban areas and develop facilities there. It envisages 1 million dollars annually, matched by the General Assembly, with 70 percent state spending and emphasis on land purchase before facilities. It notes Chicago growth and southern limits, then outlines plans for Southern Illinois including a Shawnee scenic route, Great River Road segments, trails, hostels, lakes and wildlife areas, and Rend Lake development to maximize public enjoyment. The plan stresses urban focus but allows some southern projects without priority.
