On February 1, 2026, Prairie State Wire, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs, submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Greenville City in Illinois. The request seeks access to records of new contracts and any amendments to existing contracts that were executed, approved, or became effective during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The requested records include several specific details: the title of the contract or amendment, names of contracting parties, effective and approval dates, contract amounts or amended values, and descriptions of the goods or services covered.
