Many residents at the Wabash Crossing apartments complain that there are several abandoned apartment buildings. The unlivable conditions add stress to being a renter in Decatur. 

Decatur firefighters are getting a raise after the Decatur City Council approved their new contract on Monday evening.

The City of Decatur said that the former Decatur Rehabilitation & Health Care Center at 136 S. Dipper Lane will become a 14-unit apartment complex. 

The Decatur City Council approved a plan Monday night to strengthen the city over the next three years.

In summer 2025, DPD added new body-worn cameras, in-car video systems and a digital evidence management platform. Now, the Decatur City Council accepted a $1.97 million ILESTB grant at Monday night's meeting to offset the costs. 

The Decatur City Council approved on Monday almost $400,000 in contracts to get a new 24-hour daycare open.

The Decatur City Council approved a deal Monday evening to create a new transit service, Operation Uplift.

Council did not approve the additional funds Johnson requested for the daycare, but said they believe in the project. 

The forum focused on poverty and safety in the city, and offered resources and information for those struggling with paying their bills.
