Legislator reports congressional grant for Point Breeze dredging and county study on ambulance/fire service
Summary
A county/regional official reported a congressional grant funding dredging at Point Breeze and noted a separate grant will fund a study exploring county ambulance and fire-service options for parts of the county; the official said a firm that previously worked with Genesee County will conduct the study.
A county/regional official — introduced in the transcript as an "Illinois college legislator" — briefed the board on several county-level projects funded by grants. He said a congressional grant is financing dredging at Point Breeze and that the project is underway. "We'll come and find out he got money for a grant and it's happening right now," the official said.
The official also described a separate grant to examine ambulance and fire-service feasibility in the county's East End and other areas where volunteer recruitment and service coverage are concerns. He said the county will contract with a firm that previously worked with Genesee County to conduct the study and determine feasible options; no final recommendation was reported at the meeting.
