Good morning, Champaign.

Marcia Green, leader of the Candlewood Estates Tenant Association in Mahomet, says tenants are contesting over 400 electrical violations issued by the state after new management raised lot fees and left repairs unaddressed since 2022.

Tenants claim the park owner wrongly charges them for repairs — IDPH confirmed the violations — and the dispute continues in court.

A small fire started at 4:05 p.m. on Friday in a multi-family apartment building on the 1500 block of Kiler Drive in Champaign when improperly disposed smoking materials sparked a blaze that displaced residents—firefighters quickly contained the fire—and no injuries were reported.

The City of Champaign is accepting proposals from contractors for a Traffic and Lighting Maintenance and Repair Agreement.

Interested parties can review request for proposal documents at the city office (102 N. Neil St.).
