Division Chief of Prevention Nate Rice recently "confiscated" some contraband off the streets of Peoria during the Peoria Fire Department's participation in the Smoke Alarm Blitz (sponsored by Camp I Am Me by Illinois Fire Safety Alliance and the Illinois State Fire Marshal). Peoria firefighters don't just put out fires in the community. They do everything they can to prevent them. Learn more about the Fire Department's smoke alarm program here https://bit.ly/3YUeJQq
关于我们
Just like in the old vaudevillian days, quality of life MUST BE GOOD to play in Peoria. The oldest community in Illinois with a population of 112,936, Peoria is equal distance from Chicago and St. Louis. Here we have an enviable standard of living, exciting venues within a 15-20 minute drive from our homes, safe streets, quality and quantity shopping, our own symphony, our own ballet, Broadway Theater League, museums, art guilds, first-class medical facilities that are a regional draw, the Nation’s oldest community theater and the Nation’s oldest Santa Claus parade. Our vibrant riverfront showcases a multitude of festivals and celebrations that light up the summer nights much like our extraordinary Fourth of July Skyconcert….a fireworks show that draws well over 100,000 annually. Citizens are flocking to live in the refurbished warehouses and lofts on Water Street that produce the perfect lifestyle for a 24/7 city. Naturally, we are proud to be the site of the world headquarters of Caterpillar, Inc., but we have many global businesses that allow Peoria to play all over the World through their products and services. Peoria has begun to diversify its economy with infotech industries as well. Thus our business community attracts some of the brightest graduates throughout the nation. This three-time All American City has the heart that is so well known in the Midwest. While we enjoy a variety of sophisticated entertainment, we are still homey enough to enjoy a tractor pull at the County fair, and many citizens vie for blue ribbons for their original cookie recipe or their prize bull during that competition. Peoria derives its name from the aboriginal inhabitants encountered by the first wave of French explorers. We are a City that cares, home to many charity agencies and organizations. Peoria is well known for giving more per capita than many cities of its size. We are the Heart in the Heart of the Nation.

Here’s How it Started / How it Ended Two years after it was first announced in the same place, Peoria Public Works celebrated the completion of the Glen Avenue reconstruction project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Concordia Lutheran School on Friday morning. The $13.6 million project included funding from the the City of Peoria, Peoria County Government, and the Illinois Department of Transportation It started with a press conference at Concordia Lutheran in October 2022, and was followed by construction beginning in March 2023. The end result is new pavement, curbs and gutters, storm sewer improvements, and upgraded pedestrian accommodations. Speakers at the event included city engineer Andrea Klopfenstein and District 2 Councilmember Chuck Grayeb, who cut the ribbon with the support of an enthusiastic crowd of Concordia Lutheran students.

Claude and Ben are the first faces that you see when you come into City Hall. They greet you when you enter, keep the building secure, and help community members find their way to the right place to address their issue at hand. Ben has been on the job for four years, while Claude joined us in recent months. We are lucky to have them on the security desk!
