Housing Proposed for Rushville

Rushville, IL – A non-profit group wants to build up to 40 single-family homes for Rushville. Don Harris says the Illinois Community Action Association will see if there is local support for the move. If there is, he says his group could seek financing early next year. Harris says they're considering a development with between 22 and 40 homes on lots averaging 8,000 square feet. He says they would be sold to working families either outright or on a rent-to-own basis. He has approached the city council and county board. Both groups plan to discuss the matter. Harris says his agency is also working with the Two Rivers Regional Council, which might conduct a housing needs survey in Rushville.
