FOIA Request to City Of Grayville Regarding Building Permits on October 30, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at SE Illinois News have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Grayville. The request, dated October 30, 2024, seeks access to specific records related to residential and commercial building permits issued from January 1, 2023, up until the present day.
The requested records include details such as the type of permit issued, date of issuance, fee paid for the permit, requester's name, address where the permit is applicable and the contractor's name. This information is vital in our efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in public institutions.
Additionally, we also requested a list of all active residential and commercial building permits along with their current status. Similar fields were requested for these active permits as well.
As a media organization dedicated to reporting news that serves public interest, we believe access to such public records is crucial in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We have therefore requested a fee waiver as part of our application under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We continue to work towards providing our readers with timely and relevant news that helps them stay informed about local government activities. We look forward to receiving this information from the City of Grayville and sharing it with our audience.
