When the pandemic hit, Peoria city officials were concerned how it would impact construction throughout the city.
Development and Engineering Director Adina Lund said there were concerns ranging from labor shortages if too many construction workers got sick or chose to stay home because of the coronavirus, to concerns of projects needing to be shut down due to COVID-19 outbreaks, and concerns on material shortages due to business closures or trucking shortages.
There were some impacts on shipping time frames, but overall delays have not been much of an issue, she said.
