Village of Genoa reports small growth, potential 4‑unit housing and short‑term rental review
Summary
Jerry Pedretti, Genoa Clerk/Treasurer, told the committee Genoa has about 280–300 residents and 125 homes; the village added pickleball courts, received a grant for a fire truck, and is tracking a potential 4‑unit housing project and short‑term rental ordinance options.
Jerry Pedretti, Clerk/Treasurer for the Village of Genoa, updated the committee on local developments, saying the village population is "280-300; 125 homes." He reported recently constructed pickleball courts at the village park and that the Genoa Harmony Fire Department received a grant to purchase a new fire truck.
Pedretti said the village is considering a potential four‑unit housing development but noted the area is geographically limited for much expansion; many homes have been converted into short‑term rentals and the village may explore ordinance updates to limit those uses. He also provided updates on the phase‑out period for a utility tax received from the Dairyland Powerplant and on the Maribell Transmission project. Pedretti expressed interest in implementing a room tax and closer collaboration with nearby Stoddard and DeSoto.
