Plan to stabilize downtown Rossville buildings OK'd

ROSSVILLE – Just one week ago, Rossville Village Board members held an open meeting to give residents an opportunity to ask questions about its plan to stabilize several village-owned downtown buildings.

On Thursday, the board voted unanimously to do exactly that, using tax-increment-financing-district money for the project. In addition, the board approved a $79,000 proposal by Contois Masonry & Concrete Contractors of Donovan for the masonry work on buildings at 114, 116 and 118 on the north side of East Attica Street and 113, 115 and 117 on the south side of the street.
