Commissioners update local match for Edwardsville School Community Center REDI 2.0 project

Sep 15, 2026

County staff updated a previously approved REDI 2.0 local match letter, increasing the commitment to $2,320,647 after expected blight funds did not materialize; commissioners approved the revised commitment.

The full story

Creeby reviewed the Edwardsville School Community Center REDI 2.0 local match commitment. He reminded the board that a May letter requested $2,314,790 but additional blight funding was not awarded, while other ready funds were received that do not match dollar-for-dollar. As a result, Creeby said the updated local match commitment is $2,320,647 and that much of the match is already committed in site work and related expenditures.
