Pathway committee waits on large state grant; matching funds and officers' changes noted
Summary
The pathway committee told trustees a competitive state grant decision is pending and that matching funds and a question over township or village sponsorship remain unresolved; the committee also announced officer changes and a resignation.
The Shabbona pathway committee updated the board on a state grant application for a pathway connecting the high school to Preserve Road and the state park. Committee members said the state received far more applications than expected, slowing review, and that matching funds will be required if the grant is awarded; the committee must decide whether the township or the village will lead the project if funded.
"If the pathway gets a grant, it'll move forward," a committee member said, noting the possible forfeiture of other ITEP funds if matching timelines cannot be met. The committee reported resignation of its long-time president and listed interim officers; members set the next meeting date and encouraged interested residents to attend.
