STREATOR – More exterior beautification will be done to businesses in Streator. Nearly $67,000 in city funds will be put aside to allow brick and mortar businesses to upgrade their exterior, council approved on Wednesday. City Manager Dave Plyman says projects will have to be added in to the budget later in the fiscal year because the current budget only allowed for one façade grant. He says the city can use COVID-19 relief funds to support some projects. Facade grants were awarded to 201 East 12 Street, 217-19 East Main Street, 312 East Main Street and 717 East Main Street.
City officials also approved partnering with North Central Illinois Council of Governments to administer the $948,000 Streator Incubator grant.
