PEORIA
The Peoria City Council on Tuesday could vote to create a land bank as a way to help spur development on currently vacant, abandoned, and tax-delinquent properties.
And if it is approved, the measure will be the state s first city-run land bank, according to a memo to council members. It comes with $300,000 in funding from the state. I believe this money will allow the city to have a more focused and strategic process in place to deal with abandoned and blighted properties within the community, Joe Dulin, the city s assistant community development director, told the Journal Star on Monday. And this will allow the city to return properties back to the private market.

As it’s a state route, Illinois Department of Transportation is responsible for the bulk of the $1.8M worth of work, which will include the installation of sidewalk ramps compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, milling and overlaying the road’s surface, modernizing traffic signals, and improving the vehicle detection system at the intersection with Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino.
The city’s financial responsibility will cover the traffic signals and vehicle detection system, which will cost between $8,435 and $10,544.
