Inflatable Pools:
As we welcome Spring and start thinking about the coming Summer, it's encouraging to see more things returning to the way they were before COVID. Expect that public/community pools should be open and unrestricted this year. Please remember that the city of Peoria requires that any pool over 2 feet tall must have a fence, and the neighborhood exception for fences only applies to in-ground pools. Please have a fun and safe season!

Public Meeting Scheduled for April 6
March 30, 2022 (Peoria, IL) Integrity Housing, a non-profit developer of multi-family housing, has proposed the purchase of Prairie Vista Apartments, located at 2401 West Alta Road in Peoria. The non-profit has over twenty years of experience with a portfolio of over 3,000 units located throughout 35 communities in the United States. They specialize in owning and operating affordable communities and have proposed to work with Ascenda Capital, an investment and development firm, to create a 501(c) 3 and purchase the property for $45M. Additional renovation work is planned, including roof replacements, concrete paving, water heater upgrades, and interior unit renovations. The property consists of 304 units.
The overall cost of the project totals $60M. Ascenda Capital Corporation, based out of Beverly Hills, CA, approached the Tri-County River Valley Development Authority (TRVDA) about issuing not-for-profit multi-family housing bonds for the purchase and renovation project. TRVDA can issue tax-exempt private activity bonds for manufacturing, housing, local governments, education, docks and wharves, and non-profits. The debt service is the responsibility of the entity that requests the bonds, TRVDA is the financing conduit. Of the total amount, $45M would be applied to the purchase with the $4-5M renovations of the apartments.
City Manager Patrick Urich noted “Families are considered housing burdened if they spend more than 30% of their income on housing. This developer intends to market these apartments to middle income, working families in Peoria.”
The proposed project allows for additional affordable housing options for families with affordability as the goal for 75% of the units. In the proposed project, 20% (or 61 units) would be available to community members making 50% of the area median income (three-person household making $34,350), 55% (167 units) for those making 80% of the area median income (a three-person household with an income of $54,950), and 25% (76 units) at market rate. Under IRS regulations, there is no specific rental scale that integrity Housing must charge for the income-specific units. The income-specific units will be achieved as vacancies occur and no current tenants will be displaced.
A public meeting is scheduled for April 6, at 6 pm at Hickory Grove Middle School, 2514 W Hickory Grove Rd, Dunlap, for the public to hear from the developer about the proposed project, and for questions to be answered that the public has about the project. The City Council is anticipated to vote on the issue at the April 12 City Council meeting.
###
The proposed route starts in Peoria, then goes to LaSalle-Peru, Ottawa, Morris, Joliet, ending in Chicago.  A feasibility study is ongoing of this possibility.
At this time a survey is being conducted to gather public opinion for this service. It is critical that a robust response to this survey is received. We are seeking your assistance in getting the word out to promote the survey to ensure the greatest participation possible.
How can you help? We would appreciate it if you could:

Passenger Rail Interest Survey | SurveyPlanet
The following survey will be used by the Illinois Department of Transportation and local leaders to assess the viability of new passenger rail service through Peoria to provide regional connectivity. Your answers will help inform critical decisions regarding route viability and frequency of service. Passenger trains provide a safe and convenient form of transportation.
Survey opportunity for pubic:
Dear neighborhood,
The Illinois Department of Transportation and local leaders are investigating the potential of passenger rail service between Peoria and Chicago. Passenger rail service would enhance the transportation system of the greater Peoria region and Central Illinois, provide an additional mode of transportation, support anticipated growth, improve regional connectivity, promote opportunities for businesses and tourism, and support diversity and inclusion throughout the region.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Mayor Ali was joined with community leaders to provide updates on the project.  You can view a video of the press conference and the presentation that was provided to the City Council that evening at this link:
