road-money-1

The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity has Fast Track Public Infrastucture grants now available. The initiative was created to accelerate work on planned public infrastructure projects around the state including Lawrence and surrounding counties. The state is expediting $25 million of its existing Rebuild Illinois funding to those local projects that are ready to begin work this summer. The shift in grant monies will help speed up construction on the planned projects and provide needed jobs for communities facing lost revenues and increased unemployment.
