County board member urges drainage fix before roadwork on Loami/Bates Road
Summary
Craig Hall, Sangamon County Board member for District 7, told the Loami board drainage must be fixed before any other work on Loami/Bates Road and said he is coordinating with the county engineer; he also announced he will not seek reelection in 2026.
Craig Hall, who represents District 7 on the Sangamon County Board, addressed the Loami board during the visitor period and asked residents to bring road and drainage concerns to the county. Hall said he and the Sangamon County engineer "agree that the first problem is drainage, and this has to be fixed before anything." He also thanked the village for past support and said he will not be running for another term in 2026.
Hall invited residents to speak with the Sangamon County Board and indicated county engineers are engaged on Loami/Bates Road. The transcript contains no timeline or funding commitment for repairs; Hall framed the issue as an engineering-first, drainage-first approach rather than immediate resurfacing.
