Belvidere awarded $500,000 DCEO grant for Kishwaukee Riverfront Path extension
Summary
The city received a $500,000 DCEO grant for the Kishwaukee Riverfront Path Extension in downtown Belvidere; staff said this is one of three grants for the project and will provide the city share amount at the next meeting.
Director Keck told the committee the city has been awarded a $500,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for the Kishwaukee Riverfront Path Extension in downtown Belvidere and recommended the mayor be authorized to sign the grant agreement (24‑203498). Keck said the city already holds two other grants for aspects of the same bikeway project and staff will determine the city's share and funding breakdown for council review at the next meeting.
Keck said construction will likely occur next year given the timing of bidding and the construction season. Council approved authorizing the mayor to sign the agreement and asked staff to report back with the city's matching share and how the grants tie together.
