Urbana City Council Update


The News-Gazette had an update on last night's Urbana City Council meeting:
Urbana council OKs permit for OSF's first urgent-care facility in area
The city council gave its approval Monday to a special-use permit that paves the way for the opening OSF HealthCare's first urgent-care outpatient clinic in the area.

The clinic at 520 N. Cunningham Ave. needed the permit to open in its zoning district. The facility, which will be near the recently renamed OSF Heart of Mary Medical Center, joins OSF's 13 other PromptCare centers in Illinois...

In other business, the city council voted to allocate its $4,331,250 private activity bond cap for 2018. It decided to equally split the money between its Mortgage Credit Certificate 2018 Program and the Eastern Illinois Economic Development Authority.

The EIEDA will use the funds for "possible neighborhood initiatives in the community, such as multi-family affordable housing developments," according to a council report.

The mortgage-credit program is federally authorized and allows homebuyers to "qualify for a federal income-tax credit equal to a percentage of the interest paid on their home loan each year," according to the report.
