Trustees say four grants are pending, village hall work to resume; status of $5.1M water grant unclear
Summary
Trustee Gregory Jackson said Robbins has four pending grants and that village hall repairs are about six weeks from completion once work restarts; officials did not confirm whether the $5.1 million grant referenced is for the pumping station.
Trustee Gregory N. Jackson told the board March 11 that the village is awaiting funding on four grant applications and that village-hall renovations should be about six weeks from completion once work resumes.
"We have 4 grants in total that we're waiting on the funding for," Jackson said, and he said past audit problems had placed Robbins on a "no pay" list that delayed disbursements until the village established better connections in Springfield.
Trustee Michael Collier Sr. asked water supervisor Emani to brief the board on the status of a $5.1 million grant; the transcript records residents asking for clarification. Mr. Anderson asked whether the $5.1 million is for the pumping station, and officials did not provide a definitive public answer in the record.
Trustee Collier also reminded residents to pay water bills on time and said public-works staff are preparing for summer maintenance. The board did not take a formal vote on these grant-status updates; they were presented as reports and discussion items.
