IDOT Local Project Funding applications not selected; STP grant application options discussed
Summary
Staff reported neither IDOT Local Project Funding application was selected; Civiltech will apply for a Lake County STP grant in December for West Rockland Road, but project readiness lowers the score unless the Village self-funds Phase I/II engineering.
Village staff said applications to IDOT’s "Local Project Funding" for West Rockland Road Reconstruction and the Butler Park Parking Lot and Path Separation projects were submitted in June 2025 but neither project was selected. Civiltech is scheduled to apply in December for the STP Grant through Lake County for West Rockland Road.
Staff cautioned that the project's current scoring is hampered by "Project Readiness" and told the commission that "If the Village self-funds Phase I and/or Phase II engineering, then the project would score better." The grant evaluation was described as based on readiness‑based criteria, mobility criteria and a place‑based hardship index.
