Batavia Aldermanic Candidate Forum
Description
If you are interested in the future of Batavia, join the Batavia Chamber of Commerce the evening of March 13 to hear from the candidates for alderman. They have all been invited to join us in the City Council Chambers to delineate their views on the following topics:
- Does the City's development approval process need to be streamlined? Why or Why Not? If it does, how would you improve it?
- Do you know how much money is, or will be available to the City through its TIF districts? How would you propose to use the remaining funds to encourage economic development?
- The City has purchased more power then they currently need from the Prairie State power plant. How do you propose to deal with this issue and keep electric rates in line with other communities?
- Batavia's property tax rate rose 12% last year. What can the City do to increase EAV so residents gain relief?
- In surveys, citizens put a high priority on downtown development. What do you propose to improve our downtown?
