The 30-second brief
3 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Alton's meetings, most in utilities and capital projects. The latest, from Oct 20: At its September 15, 2026 meeting, the Plan Commission recommended zoning 116 acres east of Cpl. Chris Belchik Memorial Expressway and south of Bing Field Dr. to M-2 General Industrial District upon annexation. Silver Ridge Energy Storage LLC intended to buy the site for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and staff noted fire department coordination, IEPA review, and legal costs for the annexation agreement. The project is tied to an actual purchaser and a utility-storage use, so it has clear development follow-on value. The buyer mentioned working with Ameren on the power arrangement.

Latest awards: Tetra Tech for tetra Tech Listed on Annexation Plat (Sep 2026) and Protect LLC for PROtect LLC Seeks C-5 Zoning Text Amendment (Jul 2026).
