Bloomington COW tonight 10/19/26

By: Diane Benjamin

This is one of the items on the agenda:

The agenda claims 2 developers will be making presentations.

This is a property the City of Bloomington obtained in an exchange with IWU last June: https://bloomingtonil.portal.civicclerk.com/event/4103/files/report/5141

This is NOT the property on N Main the City paid $1,400,000 10 years ago and hasn’t been able to sell ever since: https://blnnews.com/2025/07/16/flashback-to-2016/

This is another item that few listening will understand:

The Council will also:

Continue Discussion and Direction on the Regulation of Vape Vending Machines, as requested by the Mayor Department.

The last time this was discussed we learned vendors wanted to place machines in bars, bar owners weren’t asking for them.

Should be riveting. 😏

All of these are discussions only.

They will likely return as a regular agenda item at a Council meeting soon.
