The City of Arcola is moving forward with plans to build a broom palace next to City Hall where the Metropolitan Block had been. Pat Monahan has spearheaded the project, which will be built mostly with private funding. The building, modeled after an 1898 broom corn palace, will include a museum and a Libman Company outlet store.
