WATSEKA -- Building permits and other zoning issues in Iroquois County will be heard by the County Board’s Planning & Zoning Committee, now that the Regional Planning Commission has been dissolved.

The County Board (Wed) voted to disband and remove any legal responsibility from the former regional board.

The regional committee, for years, had been the first step in the application process for zoning matters. Decisions were then forwarded to the Zoning Board of Appeals and then to the county board’s planning & zoning committee.
