Council adopts $3 million DCEO grant agreement to extend Airport Road West
Summary
The council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the city to accept a $3,000,000 intergovernmental grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to extend Airport Road West; staff called it a 100% grant-funded project.
The City Council voted to adopt a resolution authorizing execution of an intergovernmental grant agreement with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for the Airport Road West Extension.
Public Works staff member Luke described the award as a $3,000,000 grant that is "100% grant funds," and said the agreement uses standard DCEO language. Council members asked no substantive questions and moved to adopt the resolution; roll-call votes were recorded and the measure passed.
City officials said the funds will be used to extend Airport Road to the west. Staff did not provide a construction schedule at the meeting; the council approved the agreement to enable the project to proceed through final design and contract phases.
Next steps: staff will execute the intergovernmental agreement with DCEO and return with implementation details and timelines as design and procurement progress.
