The Renovation and Enhancement Committee (REC) continues to support the city as construction for our IDOT Streetscape Enhancement program that began in the spring of 2009.

Several downtown properties have been renovated due to TIF money that the City allocated for facade improvements through the Historic Downtown Facade program. 

The city has also appointed a Parking Task Force to evaluate parking in the downtown. Current plans are underway to upgrade the city's three municipal parking lots to increase the number of parking spaces, make the lots cleaner and safer and introduce green space into the downtown.
