FOIA Request to City of Morrison Regarding Building Permits on October 30, 2024.
As a part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at NW Illinois News have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Morrison. The request, sent on October 30, 2024, seeks detailed information about both new and active residential and commercial building permits issued from January 1, 2023 till the present date.
The requested records include specifics such as the type of permit, date issued, fee paid, requester's name, address of the property under construction or renovation, and the contractor's name. This information is crucial for us to understand and report on the growth and development trends in our local community.
We have also asked for a list of all active residential and commercial building permits along with their current status. This will allow us to inform our readers about ongoing projects in their neighborhoods and across the city.
As a media organization dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, we believe access to these public records is essential. We've also requested a fee waiver given our role in disseminating this information as media professionals.
We await a response from the City of Morrison and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
