Summary
The council approved a site grant to Schultz Funeral Services for renovations to the former McGrath site, following a unanimous recommendation from the planning commission.
STREATOR — The City Council approved a site-grant award to Schultz Funeral Services for renovations at the former McGrath property, including exterior repainting, entrance repairs and new signage.
Council adopted Resolution 2025-26 granting the award to Schultz Funeral Services at 1 Elizabeth Place, Streator. Council member Danko moved the resolution and Council member Shire seconded. The clerk called the roll and recorded affirmative votes.
Why it matters: Planning staff and the planning commission reviewed the proposal and, according to the meeting discussion, issued a unanimous recommendation for approval. The project’s publicly described work includes repainting the building front, redoing an existing entranceway, replacing or installing metal roofing, installing signage on the building, replacing the entry door, adding several windows and retaining a garage door on the north end of the structure.
Background and next steps: The applicant will proceed with the exterior renovations consistent with the grant terms and the approved site plan; the transcript does not record a construction timeline or grant amount. The council asked that the minutes reflect that the planning commission’s recommendation was included in the meeting packet.
