The bill also includes $140 million in relief funding for Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford counties. For the City of Peoria, the one-time relief funds are welcome to blunt the blow of a painful budget readjustment cycle sparked by reduced revenues as the COVID-19 pandemic set in last spring.

When the Tazewell County Health Department was formed in 1970, the organization consisted of two staff members and operated out of a basement in the Tazewell County Courthouse.
“Chuck Skogley and his secretary, Sherry Diegel, were the only TCHD employees and issued septic permits only while in the courthouse,” said Evelyn Neavear, director of environmental health for the department.
Several moves and a half century later, TCHD now occupies a campus at 21306 Illinois Route 9 in Tremont. According to TCHD communications manager Sara Sparkman, the location in the geographic center of Tazewell County makes the department’s services more accessible to residents.
