FOIA Request to City of Geneva Regarding Newly Registered Businesses on May 7, 2025.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Geneva. Our request seeks access to records detailing businesses registered with the city in the past week. Specifically, we are requesting information in electronic format that includes the following fields:
- Business Name
- Business Number
- Business Type
- Business Address
- Issued Date
- Status
- Registered Agent Name
Access to these public records is crucial for us as members of the media. It enables us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public. We believe that as media professionals, we are eligible for a fee waiver due to our role in disseminating information.
Additionally, we are affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Missouri Corporation. This organization assists news media companies, publications, and public advocacy groups in investigating state and federal governmental agencies. By leveraging Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws, we aim to pull back the curtain on government actions and help inform the American electorate.
