Mendota City Council news and information from Illinois Valley, part of the Shaw Local News Network
A program designed to support the preservation of buildings within the Mendota Historic Preservation District by providing grants for facade improvements was revived Monday by Mendota City Council.
Mendota wants to build a roughly 2-mile shared use path from downtown to Lake Kakusha and near Mendota High School. If the city gets the grant, construction begins in 2026.
Mendota city officials listened to ideas Monday from the public for potential uses for an Open Space Land Acquisition and Development grant.
Mendota police no longer have a shortage of candidates.
The bridge at Fifth Street and Eighth Avenue in Mendota will be replaced early next year.
