INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Empire Street TIF
  • Lighted Intersection

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Prime Development Opportunity–TIF District
Position your project in the heart of Bloomington’s high-visibility east–west gateway. This 0.78± acre raw land parcel sits along Towanda Avenue at the Empire/Route 9 corridor, a direct conduit from East Bloomington into Downtown. The site is within the Empire Street Corridor TIF District, designed to catalyze private reinvestment and fund public-realm upgrades across this trade area.
Unmatched Corridor Fundamentals. Empire Street (IL-9/US-150) is a primary arterial tying Veterans Parkway (Business I-55) to Downtown, with the City and IDOT actively advancing multimillion-dollar improvements—signal coordination, pedestrian/bike connectivity, and intersection upgrades—to enhance safety, flow, and access across the corridor. These projects include Route 9 enhancements and the Veterans/Empire hub, one of Bloomington’s busiest junctions.
Blue-chip neighbors that draw daily traffic. The property sits across from Bloomington Country Club, minutes to Bloomington High School, a short drive to Illinois Wesleyan University, OSF St. Joseph Medical Center, Carle BroMenn Medical Center, and major State Farm corporate campuses—creating a robust daytime population and diversified demand for services.
