Peoria electors call special town meeting to study senior services and possible levy
Summary
Electors at Peoria's annual town meeting voted to have the Township Clerk call a special town meeting to form an ad hoc committee to study senior services and examine funding options, including a possible property tax levy; the meeting is scheduled for May 12, 2026.
Peoria electors voted on April 14 to ask the Township Clerk to call a special town meeting to study senior services and to consider creating an ad hoc committee to develop a financially sustainable senior center.
The petitioners’ spokesperson, Mira Lee, told electors the study would provide “the data we need to decide exactly which programs deserve our support” and proposed that the committee deliver recommendations to the Township Board by October 2026. Lee framed the request as a response to demographic change and gaps in services: “By 2030, Peoria will have more residents over the age of 50 than under 18,” she said.
