Here are the big Peoria news stories of 2024

From helicopters to economic engines, Peorians had a lot to talk about this year

This year has been a story of growth in Peoria, or maybe more succinctly, growing up.

The city has been laying the foundation to shift from a bedroom community to an economic engine. Officials hope it will bring more high-paid employment into the city so residents won’t have to leave to work.

Plans are also intended to bring  shopping and entertainment amenities many say they must leave the city to experience.
