Rural Directory to Get Update

Macomb, IL – McDonough County's 911 Center is preparing to update its rural directory. The volume of maps was last updated in 1992. Board Chairman Bob Fitzgerald says the new book is designed for emergency responders to carry in their vehicles so they can find a rural address without having to use the dispatch center. He says the new one has one township on each page, with locations of homes indicated. It also will contain street maps for communities in the county. The board plans to make some available to the public, possibly through the assessor's office, if enough remain after the initial run is placed in police cars and fire trucks.
