PERU – Lighted Way in LaSalle is hoping to have its new building ready for learning by 2023. Executive Director Jessie Kreiser shared project details to Peru’s City Council on Monday night before officials approved a resolution in support of Lighted Way’s American Rescue Plan Act funding application. The association that serves individuals with disabilities plans to gain more funding for the new 33,000-square-foot facility, which will be located at the former Heritage Manor nursing home on Chartres Street. Kreiser says the new site will create spaces for more impactful services for their most fragile students.
