New Champaign Honorary Street

Coming up at the Tuesday, March 13th City of Champaign Study Session (March calendar):
Honor for local pastor on meeting agenda
A longtime church leader could be getting an honorary street name in Champaign.

Bishop Robert L. Perry Jr. has been pastor of Grove Street Church of God in Christ for more than 34 years, according to his nomination papers.

The honorary street designation is a topic on the agenda for Tuesday’s city council study session. It would be the first such sign approved since Alison Krauss was honored on West Hill Street between Elm and Prairie in 2015.

The home for Perry’s sign would be Grove Street between Fifth and Sixth streets, near his church at 501 E. Grove...

Honorary street signs stay up for 10 years in Champaign. There are currently 39 honorary streets in the city.
