The Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO) says that the Village of Braceville has been chosen to get CDBG funding to enhance storm drain infrastructure.
To develop public infrastructure improvements in Braceville, Sen. Patrick Joyce (D-Essex) has secured a $454,165 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to the village's stormwater drainage systems that are in desperate need of repair.
Joyce said the additional funds will help improve the quality of life for citizens who reside in the village
“This grant helps the village continue to move forward with public infrastructure improvements,” Joyce wrote in a press release. “I applaud village officials on being proactive in applying for state funding opportunities, and I look forward to seeing this project develop.”
Joyce also assured citizens that all the grants given this year are exclusively for water and sewer projects. Residents can learn more about the CDBG program and its projects by visiting the DCEO website.
