The City of Pana has packed a lot of plans and projects in during these warmer months, with some starting soon. 6th Street will see itself resurfaced and the Illinois Department of Transportation is nearing it’s start date for Route 29. After acquiring the Roseland Theater earlier this year, Pana has completed roof and gutter renovations to keep it as a staple of the community. The city is also working towards bidding out their ‘People’s Plaza’ project with hopes to bring a new outdoor space by year end.

Kim Toberman, Pana City Clerk, first discusses some of the road projects to expect later this Summer.

Toberman shares an update on the ‘People’s Plaza. While things aren’t going as quickly as she might like, this project might be completed by later this Fall.

At the start of this year, the City of Pana purchased the Roseland Theater. Toberman says recent renovations to the roof and gutters is complete, with much more to come.

The Pana Pool opened to the public back in June and with several communities without a pool currently, Toberman invites the area to cool off there instead.

On July 26th, Kitchell Park will play host to the 2nd Annual ‘Pana Popcorn Festival.’ Toberman is appreciative of all the hard work done to improve the park by the Pana Parks Revitalization Committee.
