ROCKFORD The Winnebago County Board is developing a capital improvement plan that could finally seal the fate of the downtown Public Safety Building, which has sat mostly vacant and in limbo for years.
Last week, County Board members took the first step toward addressing the capital plan when they unanimously approved an ordinance to pump $3 million in fees collected from garbage haulers into the capital budget.
Funding from the federal COVID-19 relief package will also bolster the plan, which County Board Chairman Joe Chiarelli said was an overdue need. I don t know if we have ever had one, but it is something that my administration identified early on as something that was needed, Chiarelli said.
