The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency now has until July 24 to finish evaluating a modified Marion Ridge Landfill application for a Crenshaw Road site northwest of Marion.

The project carries a $20 million price tag, with prior ownership tracing to Kibler Development Corp. and Bill Kibler. A lawsuit by Williamson County Regional Airport authority and Marion seeks to block the landfill.

Wrecking Ball Ends Era For Carbondale Tap Spot
The dilapidated American Tap site in Carbondale downtown was demolished after years of decline and political controversy. Mayor Cole and council members faced criticism over a $150,000 purchase price during negotiations with former owner Henry Fisher, who is jailed for a sexual offense. The city plans a multi-use redevelopment to attract future development and revitalize the area, with officials aiming to avoid high bids that do not fit the community.
