We Deliver $25,000 for Lynn Township Hall
I updated this news release slightly, to express gratitude for the wonderful hospitality shown by the great folks of Lynn Township! Bobbi-Sue and I attended the grand opening of the hall, so it was nice that one of us could be there for the check presentation.
Boland Presents $25,000 Grant to Lynn Township
Legislator Helps Fund Recently Completed Township Hall
LYNN CENTER, IL — At a news conference and check presentation ceremony, State Representative Mike Boland (D-East Moline) presented a $25,000 ceremonial check to Lynn Township to help fund the recently completed Township Hall. Supervisor Sheldon Larson, as well as Township Trustees and staff, were on hand to accept the check from Representative Boland.
"I am very proud to be here today to award state funding in the amount of $25,000 to Lynn Township," Boland stated. "I have a great appreciation for Township Government, it can be the government that is closest and most responsible to the people," he said. "I know that all the individuals here in Lynn Township work together to make a difference for the people you serve, and that you have fought hard to increase the services you provide without increasing the taxes you levy," Boland emphasized. "I want to personally acknowledge and reward that kind of service to the taxpayers," he added.
"I realize that investing in infrastructure, like helping with the Township Hall here in Lynn Center, or the Fire Station for Fulton, is not the most visible or flashiest way to use the funds I can grants as a State Representative," he continued. "However, I also know that by investing in our Villages and Townships, I can have the largest possible impact right here in our communities, and that’s an important part of making the government in Springfield work for us right here at home," Boland concluded.
"After attending the grand opening of the Township Hall a while back, it was really great to accompany Representative Boland to give this grant award today. It feels kind of like Christmas," Boland staffer Bobbi-Sue Huntoon was heard to say. It was such a special and historic event for Lynn Township, that Supervisor Sheldon Larson had the original architect for the project on hand to say a few words.
