FOIA Request to City Of East Dubuque Regarding Building Permits on October 30, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at NW Illinois News have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
The requested records pertain to both new and active residential and commercial building permits issued from January 1, 2023, till the present date. The details sought include the type of permit, date issued, fee paid, requester's name, address of the property, and contractor's name.
We believe that access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities.
