Illinois Gov. Jay “J.B.” Pritzker recently announced $250 million in grants to support local transportation projects.
Pritzker announced the grants, which are directed to counties, municipalities and townships, in DeKalb County on March 11. DeKalb is about 65 miles west of Chicago.
The funds were provided through Rebuild Illinois, an infrastructure improvement initiative approved in 2019 that is meant to support investment in roads, bridges, transit, education, state parks, historic sites and clean water infrastructure.
