The Shelbyville City Council met on Monday night at 5:30 and the main topic of conversation was a number of different city projects, according to Shelbyville Mayor Jeff Johnson.    

The other big topic at the bi-monthly city council meeting was the Chautauqua Building and the recent referendum to repair the building.

Mayor Johnson thinks that the Chautauqua Building is an attraction that can provide things for the visitors of Shelbyville.

Cities across Illinois are preparing for a significant decrease in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mayor Johnson says that Shelbyville is in good shape because of a cushion that they’ve been able to build up for situations like this. 

The next Shelbyville City Council Meeting will be held on Monday, July 20th.
