First Community Insurance Move, Kankakee Leaf Pickup Extension, School Report Card Ratings, Snow-Route Towing

In this week’s episode of Kankakee Podcast News, Drew Raisor covers the key stories from around the county. First Community Insurance & Annuity Center has officially moved its headquarters to a new location on Armour Road in Bourbonnais, continuing its more than 30-year commitment to serving local residents and businesses. The city of Kankakee has extended its leaf-pickup service after November snowstorms disrupted collection, asking residents to keep leaf piles visible and accessible. School districts across the region are reviewing their latest Illinois State Report Card designations, with several schools earning commendable or exemplary ratings while others receive targeted support. Finally, starting after January 1, Kankakee will begin towing vehicles parked along designated snow-route streets during snow events, warning residents of potential $200–$300 recovery costs and urging attention to posted signage.
