CITY OF ALLIANCE - PROPERTY INVENTORY INITIATIVE
Alliance, May 31, 2024 - The City of Alliance announces the commencement of a comprehensive property inventory initiative, starting the week of June 3rd. This vital project is a prerequisite for the City to secure crucial funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Residents will notice surveyors traversing the City streets, diligently capturing photographic documentation and completing detailed questionnaires for every parcel of land within Alliance's City limits, regardless of whether it is vacant or has a structure.
To diminish any concerns, it is important to note that surveyors will strictly adhere to public spaces such as streets, sidewalks, alleys, or rights-of-way and will not encroach upon private properties.
The inventory project is anticipated to span the entirety of the summer months, with a projected conclusion before the onset of fall.
For any inquiries or clarification regarding the property inventory initiative, residents are encouraged to reach out to the Mayor’s office at 330-821-3110.
We appreciate the cooperation and understanding of all residents as we undertake this significant endeavor.

WARNING: In the past we had routinely posted shoplifters on our site to both deter further thefts and to share information with local loss prevention associates. Recently, individuals have taken this for granted and started committing thefts at an alarming rate in Alliance and it will not be allowed to continue. If you shoplift from our local retailers, you will be arrested and prosecuted, and we will also be going back to posting your arrest and picture on our site. This is your one warning. This is not a community that wants all of our products locked behind cages or locked glass doors. Our community consists of law-abiding hard-working citizens, and they deserve better. This will be your only warning.

UPDATE - SOLVED: Auston Becker-Horner, age 24 of Alliance
