Chuck Grayeb

Chuck Grayeb’s last regular Peoria City Council meeting is Tuesday, as his 24-year tenure is drawing to a close. Heading into his final weeks as a council member, Grayeb reflects on his years of service.

District 2 council member Chuck Grayeb is putting his support behind Peoria's incumbent mayor after narrowly missing a second-place finish in the primary election.

Longtime Peoria City Council member Chuck Grayeb isn’t ready to give up on his third attempt to become the city’s mayor after unofficial results from Tuesday's primary election have him in third place by 127 votes.

Incumbent Rita Ali has advanced to the general election in her bid for another term as Peoria’s mayor, but it remains unclear who she will face, as only 127 votes separated council members John Kelly and Chuck Grayeb Tuesday night.

A 15-year-old suspect with more than 20 arrests over the past five years has been charged in connection with a weekend shooting event in Peoria that sent another boy to the hospital.

Rita Ali believes Peoria is making progress that should not be interrupted. Chuck Grayeb sees a city at a crossroads that must address criminal delinquency. John Kelly thinks a change is needed to cultivate growth and prosperity.

The three Peoria city leaders vying to hold the mayor’s office for the next four years are bringing their messages to residents ahead of the Feb. 25 primary election.

A one-of-a-kind chemical processing company will move its operations from Nebraska to Peoria’s South Side after agreeing to a range of conditions to address economic and environmental concerns.

Three candidates want to represent the district that includes downtown, much of the West and Center Bluffs, and a swath of Central Peoria that runs up to Glen Ave. That area also includes major higher ed institutions like Illinois Central College and Bradley University.

A $57 million redevelopment project in downtown Peoria is canceled, according to city staff.
