The Future of Rossville
2/13/2026
Thank You All for Attending “The Future of Rossville” Presentation!
The Board of Trustees and Mayor would like to thank all the citizens and people of all ages and backgrounds who attended the free presentation and Q&A session on the community action based “Future of Rossville” by Gisele Hamm of WIU on Tuesday.
We had a great turnout with plenty of interaction. Several community members stepped up volunteering to lead committees in this amazing grassroots journey.
I also want to express all our appreciation to Gisele Hamm, Program Director at the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs at Western Illinois University for driving 3.5 hours each way to share how they can help steer the community based initiatives.
If you weren’t able to attend, you can review the presentation below.
