Rep Mike Boland Presents $50,000 to Mt. Carroll for Infrastructure
State Legislator Helps to Fund Brick Street & Water Improvements
MOUNT CARROLL, IL —— At a news conference and check presentation ceremony, State Representative Mike Boland (D-71) will present a $50,000 ceremonial check to the City of Mount Carroll. Boland secured two different grants for the city, the first for $25,000 to help fund the redevelopment of Mt. Carroll's historic brick streets, and a second $25,000 grant for water infrastructure repair and improvements. Alderwoman Doris Bork, who played an essential role in helping to secure the grants, as well as other members of the City Council and City Staff, are expected to be on hand to accept the check from Representative Boland. Mount Carroll's grant presentation is part of a total of $1 million in grants awarded by Boland to the 71st district in 2006/2007.
"I am very excited to be able to award state funding in the amount of $50,000 to Mount Carroll," Boland stated. "I attended a special City Council Meeting early last year, and I've remained in contact with Alderwoman Doris Bork, as well as other elected officials and staff from the city, so I was well aware of the city's current needs," he added. "Hopefully, this grant will help take a bite out of the significant cost of infrastructure repair and improvement that Mount Carroll faces," Boland said.
"Mt Carroll is a beautiful historic community, so I was thrilled to be able to play a part in the repair of Mt Carroll's historic brick streets," Boland stated. "A safe and reliable water supply is an absolutely essential service, so everyone in the community should get some benefit from the grant for water infrastructure repair and improvements," Boland emphasized.
