Pontiac announces community meeting

Local residents are invited to join the City of Pontiac at a community meeting Wednesday (July 30) to learn about results from a Community Needs Assessment Survey at Housing Stock Survey.

The public meeting is planned for 6 p.m. at the Eagle Performing Arts and Conference Center in Pontiac. The assessment for housing started last fall.

“We had a public survey that we put out and we also did a housing stock survey,” explained Pontiac Mayor Kelly Eckhoff.

The Illinois Housing Authority will be in town to share results and the city hopes to make housing decisions and be able to potentially apply for grants to help existing or new homeowners with projects to expand housing offerings.
