Governor Quinn Announces $3.2 Million for Bureau, DeKalb, Grundy, Kendall and LaSalle County Local Transportation Improvements

PERU – Governor Pat Quinn today joined local officials to announce $3.2 million in Illinois Jobs Now! capital investments to repair municipal, township and county infrastructure in Bureau, DeKalb, Grundy, Kendall and LaSalle Counties. The funds are in addition to the annual Motor Fuel Tax revenues these municipalities are scheduled to receive this year. Today’s announcement is part of Governor Quinn’s commitment to address local transportation needs, create jobs and drive Illinois’ economy forward.

“These important investments will help municipalities in Bureau, DeKalb, Grundy, Kendall and LaSalle Counties as they address their unique local transportation needs,” Governor Quinn said. “These Illinois Jobs Now! funds, when added to the Motor Fuel Tax disbursement, mean local communities in this area will see an increase of about 17 percent in resources they need to immediately move forward and address critical needs, create jobs, and support economic growth.”

The $3.2 million released today is part of the fourth in a series of annual grants that have come to municipalities for local transportation projects under the Illinois Jobs Now! program since 2010. The projects will be selected and managed locally, with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) providing oversight.

“This installment of capital funds for local transportation projects demonstrates our continued commitment to local governments,” IDOT Secretary Ann Schneider said. “These local projects will improve the quality of life for residents, stimulate the economy, and address immediate infrastructure needs.”

In addition to the Illinois Jobs Now! funds announced today, local governments in Bureau, DeKalb, Grundy, Kendall and LaSalle Counties will receive approximately $18.5 million in Motor Fuel Tax funds this year.

The county, municipal and township governments receiving funds are listed below.
