SHPO Economic Impact Reports CY26 and CY28

Illinois’ Department of Natural Resources is seeking a qualified vendor to produce two full‑color economic‑impact reports covering the Illinois Historic Preservation Tax Credit (IL‑HTC) and River‑Edge Historic Tax Credit (RE‑HTC) programs for calendar years 2026 and 2028. The vendor must compile a comprehensive master database of every historic‑tax‑credit project (including Federal Historic Tax Credit projects) from 2000‑2026/2028, provide geospatial mapping layers, conduct quantitative analysis, and draft narrative sections covering credit counts, economic, employment, tax, housing, and environmental impacts. Required deliverables include PDF reports, underlying data sets, GIS map layers, stakeholder interview summaries, and a WCAG‑2.1 Level AA compliant final product. The contract is firm‑priced, open‑market, and will run until June 30 2029, with an expected workload of roughly three years of research, data‑management, and reporting. • Develop two separate economic‑impact reports (CY 2026 and CY 2028) for the SHPO programs. • Compile a master list of >30 data fields for every historic‑tax‑credit project (2000‑2026/2028) and create Google‑Earth map layers colour‑coded by credit type. • Perform quantitative analysis (employment, tax revenue, housing, environmental savings) and produce narrative, tables, charts, and case‑study spotlights. • Conduct surveys/interviews with stakeholders, deliver WCAG‑compliant PDFs, and provide all raw data and supporting materials in an agreed‑upon electronic format.
