Kewanee Mayor Gary Moore joined Wake Up Tri-Counties on Tuesday morning, January 23rd, 2024. The Mayor was on hand to wrap up Monday’s Kewanee City Council Meeting. During our conversation the Mayor discussed the decision to join up with the all new Henry County Tourism Board. The collapse of the previous Tourism Board came shortly after Kewanee pulled out over questions regarding why Kewanee wasn’t more prominently featured in tourism campaigns. Mayor Moore tells WKEI that this time, with representation at Tourism Board Meetings, he’s convinced that Kewanee will get fair treatment by the Tourism Board. Also on Monday night, Kewanee renewed a contract to provide Ambulance Service to Neponset, and the City Council declared excess Police Radios that have since been entirely replaced by StarComm Radios.
