Resident urges board to investigate ‘TIPS’ to revive downtown
Summary
A resident asked the Village of Shabbona board to investigate 'TIPS' as a vehicle to reinvigorate downtown and nearby corridors, citing distressed properties along Route 30 and community interest raised at town halls.
A resident urged the Village of Shabbona board to investigate using "TIPS" to help revive the downtown commercial district and a nearby corridor. The speaker said the idea had surfaced repeatedly in town halls and candidate interviews and argued the village has local expertise and legal resources to pursue the approach.
"I wanted to propose that the village consider investigating tips as, Jerry Foster talked about a couple months ago," the resident said during the public comment period. The board had follow-up discussion about who would research permitting and legal issues and whether the public affairs committee would take the proposal on as a multi-month effort.
