From Blueprints to Big Rigs: Loves Truck Stop Coming to Rock Falls!
Season 2, Episode 82
In this episode of Along the Rock, host Kaitlyn Blum sits down with Mark Searing and Bryan Plummer from the City of Rock Falls to talk about everything happening behind the scenes in the Building and Code Enforcement Department. From daily inspections and tenant complaints to condemned buildings and major development projects like the upcoming Love’s truck stop, this conversation pulls back the curtain on how Rock Falls is growing and improving every day.
Mark shares his experience as he nears retirement, and Bryan talks about stepping into the role and what he sees for the future of the city. They also discuss the city's work with the Whiteside Area Career Center and why projects like Love’s take years—even when residents don’t see the progress right away.
Plus, find out what hidden gem in Rock Falls might surprise you!
