Aldermen Review Construction Plans

Macomb, IL – Macomb aldermen are looking at more than $500,000 worth of construction projects - and that's just for starters. At Monday night's city council meeting, aldermen focused only on work that would be paid for through the half-cent sales tax. They agreed to give themselves power to act next week to authorize city staff to seek engineering proposals. City Administrator Mike Hays says timing is critical with road construction projects. Much of the work would involve surface treatment to streets such as Jana Rd, Penny Ln and Jamie Ln. The money would also pay for sidewalk work and a downtown drainage study.
