Due to the ongoing power outage, City Hall will be open tonight for any residents who need a place to go temporarily.

Please note that City Hall is not equipped as a shelter. There are no sleeping quarters, cots, showers, or other amenities available. The building is simply being made available as a safe place to sit, cool off, charge devices, and get out of the dark while power restoration efforts continue.

City Hall is located at 301 W. Main Street. Residents are welcome to stop by as needed throughout the evening.

Additionally, there are reports of trees and power lines down throughout the community. Please use extreme caution if you must travel. Stay away from any downed power lines and assume they are energized. Do not attempt to move trees or debris that may be in contact with utility lines. If you encounter a hazardous situation, contact 9-1-1.

Please continue to monitor official City of Hoopeston communications for updates regarding the power outage and restoration efforts.
