Central State Fireworks is based in Athens and puts on shows throughout the Midwest including Jerseyville and Alton.

The city spends $11,500 on its Fourth of July fireworks show each year.

Tonight’s workshop session and meeting is preceded by a meeting of the Parks and Lakes Committee at 5:45 in the Mayor’s Conference Room.

The workshop session will happen at 6:30 in the Commission Room of the Municipal Building.
