FOIA Request to City of Mount Carmel Regarding Building Permits on October 30, 2024.
In our ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at SE Illinois News have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The request was sent to the City of Mount Carmel on October 30, 2024.
The requested records pertain to both new and active residential and commercial building permits issued from January 1, 2023, till the present date. We have asked for specific details including the type of permit, date issued, fee paid, requester's name, address of the property in question, and contractor's name.
We believe that access to these public records is crucial in fulfilling our professional responsibilities as a media organization. This includes holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
As we continue our work in gathering and reporting news to the public, we hope that this information will help shed light on local government operations in relation to building permits within the city.
We are waiting for a response from the City of Mount Carmel regarding this request. We remain committed to bringing you detailed reports about local governmental affairs as part of our mission at SE Illinois News.
