Collinsville is the fifth fastest growing community in the St. Louis metropolitan area with a population as of the 2000 Census of 24,707. Collinsville has become much more than a bedroom community for nearby St. Louis, Missouri. Collinsville is a haven for people who have grown weary of the hustle and bustle of urban living and desire a small-town atmosphere. Rolling hills, large homes, and shaded streets add beauty and a sense of the past. Collinsville's comprehensive plan for growth has a goal of improving the community while protecting property values and quality of life. The City of Collinsville boasts a growing hospitality district with over 1,300 hotel/motel rooms and the Gateway Center, Southwestern Illinois' premiere convention and visitors center. The City is also home to the District 11 Illinois State Police and Illinois Department of Transportation Headquarters, Fairmount Park Racetrack and headquarters to Bridal Originals.
The three top priorities for the City of Collinsville in the new millennium are to improve the City's streets, construct a new water tower, and revitalize the downtown area.
