Bob DeFrates said he tried to retire two years ago but couldn't quite do it. And for an even longer time, the life-long artist quit doing what he had loved best: drawing. via Belleville News

Most streetscape work completed

“To me, it just creates all appearances of a very safe environment”

The city on Monday reopened East Main Street between Walnut and Oak streets, a section of road that had been closed for months while crews renovated the road as part of the streetscape project.

Crews still must complete a few tasks before Mayor Mark Eckert will declare the downtown makeover finished -- it's 98.5 percent complete, he said.

The project, originally expected to cost $6.4 million, may top $7 million, Eckert said. The extra money will have to come from tax increment financing revenue. The project is about 6 months behind schedule because of poor weather, problems moving utilities and other unexpected problems. Read more

Edwardsville OKs new tax district for North Main

“This is the city making sure the infrastructure is in place to encourage investment”

By Elizabeth Donald

--

North Main Street will eventually look a lot more like the rest of downtown, or so the City Council hopes.

The council voted 6-0 on Tuesday to approve a new tax increment financing district for North Main Street. The sole opponent of the new district, Alderman Wesley Tippit, was absent from the meeting.

The North Main Street Redevelopment Project will stretch from College Street to the intersection of Illinois 143 and Illinois 159. Plans for the district include extending the downtown streetscape rehabilitation program, replacing aging infrastructure and providing faade and residential rehabilitation assistance. Read more
