PEORIA, Ill. – Peoria’s Salvation Army can move ahead with a new men’s shelter.
City council unanimously approved amended plans for the new shelter at the corner of Jefferson and Bryan Tuesday night’s meeting.
Peoria’s Director of Community Development Joe Dulin told council members the building will be two stories instead of one, along with vacating an alley on the property so it can be used for internal circulation.
He says the current men’s shelter will stay open while the new one is built, and be torn down after.
Dulin says the project received a $2 million state grant about a week-and-a-half ago.
No timeline has been given yet on when the project will begin.
