Council authorizes USDA loan application to support Gardner Street sewer project
Summary
To keep a pending EDA grant active, the council authorized staff to submit a USDA loan application that would match a proposed $5 million EDA grant; staff said the village has already secured $1 million in congressionally directed spending and proposes a $1,254,000 USDA loan to complete a larger sewer segment estimated at $6,270,000.
Staff told the council that the sewer under Gardner Street had been identified as nearing capacity in a 2020 report and that the village had secured $1,000,000 in congressionally directed spending for the project. They said the village submitted an EDA grant request for $5,000,000 and was proposing a USDA loan application for $1,254,000 to match that grant for a larger $6,270,000 segment of work.
Staff emphasized the loan application is an administrative step to keep the EDA grant active and that the village would not be required to take the loan if the EDA grant is not awarded. "We did apply with, congressman Molnar's office... did receive 1000000 dollars for, this project," staff said during the presentation. The council approved submitting the USDA loan application by voice vote, 7-0.
