Rusville, IL – Rushville Mayor Scott Thompson won the concurrence of his council when he introduced his "Energize Rushville" program this week.
Scott Thompson proposes a combination of identifying projects, lining up partners and timely execution as a way of bringing more progress to Rushville.
He says the first action item will be filing in Circuit Court for a 15-day window to give owners of three dilapidated properties time to begin clean-up or repairs.
He says once the window expires, the city can begin to have the properties torn down.
Thompson says he and the council will discuss a listing of possible ideas ... and refine them into groupings of manageable accomplishments.
He says there will be a banner at this weekend's Smiles Day observance. He expects suggestions from the public to be added to the list the aldermen have already decided on.
