Summary

Fehr Graham's Bridgette Stocks said a grant agreement for 'Milfred' has been awarded, Lena Safe Routes to School funding will be announced soon, a LaHood grant is awaiting Congress's budget on Oct. 1, and ITEP applications are due Oct. 6 in even years; IDOT will hold a seminar June 17 and some COVID funds remain available for commercial demolition.

Bridgette Stocks updated the Committee on several grant and transportation matters. She said a grant agreement for "Milfred" has been awarded and that the Lena Safe Routes to School announcement is expected shortly.

Stocks said a LaHood grant is waiting on Congress's budget process (she cited October 1 as the relevant budget date) and reminded the board that ITEP is an even-year program with an Oct. 6 application deadline. She also noted an IDOT seminar on June 17 where staff expect to obtain more information and said there remains COVID-related funding that can be used with a focus on commercial demolition.

Why it matters: grant awards and application deadlines shape which local projects can move forward and which will need additional planning or matching funds.
