FOIA Request to City of Lewistown Regarding Building Permits on October 30, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Peoria Standard have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The request, sent on October 30, 2024, specifically asks for information regarding new and active residential and commercial building permits issued in the city from January 1, 2023, up until the present date.
The details we are seeking include the type of permit issued, the date it was granted, the fee paid by the requester, their address, and the name of the contractor involved. We believe that this information is vital in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to our readers about local developments.
In line with our role as a media organization dedicated to disseminating important information to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver for this information. This is based on our understanding that access to public records is crucial for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities.
We will continue to follow up on this request and provide updates as they become available.
