City of Quincy and Partners Seek Land Proposals for Regional Sports Complex

Quincy, IL – The City of Quincy, in collaboration with the Quincy Sports Commission and the
Great River Economic Development Foundation (GREDF), is now accepting site proposals from
property owners and representatives for land to be considered for the development of a new
regional sports complex.

The complex is envisioned as a hub for community recreation, youth sports, regional
tournaments, and economic development. It may include both indoor and outdoor facilities and
serve as a long-term asset for tourism and quality of life in the Tri-State region.

Proposal Submission Details
GREDF will be accepting sealed and electronic site proposals beginning today, August 11,
through 4:00 PM on September 25, 2025. Sites ranging from 5 to 55 acres will be considered,
with a preference for locations that offer build-ready terrain, utility access, and room for future
expansion.

Ideal sites should have appropriate zoning or be easily rezoned, be accessible, and minimize
environmental or topographical challenges. Proposals must include a legal property description,
site maps, zoning details, and purchase terms, among other criteria.

Selection Process
A subcommittee of the Quincy Sports Commission will evaluate proposals based on size,
location, cost, topography, and utility access. Top proposals may be invited to present to the full
commission, with a final site recommendation made to the Quincy City Council this fall.

A Vision for the Future
This RFP marks the first step in a multi-phase planning and development process that includes
site selection, facility design, operator selection, and construction planning throughout the next
year. The complex is expected to become a destination for both local residents and regional
visitors.

Electronic proposals should be submitted to gredf@gredf.org, and sealed proposals may be
mailed or delivered to:
Great River Economic Development Foundation
