Death notices, village meetings
Today's news from Rockton, Roscoe and South Beloit - from the staff of Rockton-Roscoe News.
- Each week we remember those who are no longer with us in Rockton, Roscoe, and South Beloit, including “Babs” Hurn, the creator and caretaker of Stumpy, Shirland's beloved landmark, which is taller than she was.
- On the agenda at tonight's Village of Roscoe meeting: recognition of the 2025 Roscoe Hometown Pride Award recipient and a presentation by Main Street Business District Alliance. Now that Place Foundry has completed its work on the Main Street District blueprint, the village board is asking them to focus on development plans for the I-90 Rockton Road corridor.
