The state is giving out grants for parks and open space. Here's which suburban park districts are getting money.
SPRINGFIELD -- Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Wednesday announced the release of nearly $60 million in grant funding to help local governments develop public parks and open spaces, more than 20% of which will go to"distressed" communities.
Pritzker noted that the current fiscal year marks the first time that 100% of costs in distressed communities will be covered, as lawmakers waived the cost-sharing requirement for projects in those communities that would normally apply. Among the other projects, the city of Benld in Macoupin County will receive $600,000 at the site of its former elementary school that was destroyed by underground mine subsidence in 2009. Peoria Park District will receive $255,000 to acquire 40 acres along the Illinois River Bluff to extend a hiking trail and conduct conservation work. It will also receive $600,000 to replace an outdoor swimming pool at its Lakeview Park with a modern splash pad and pool facility.
