THE BAD NEWS IS : THE CITY OF MT. CARMEL DID NOT GET APPROVED
BY THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THEIR COMBINED
SIDEWALK RE-PAVING AND STREET LIGHT POLE REPLACEMENT GRANT.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THE STREET LIGHT PART OF THE PROJECT WILL PROCEED.
THE POLES HAVE BEEN ORDERED AND INSTALLATION WILL CONTINUE
THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER.
MT. CARMEL WAS ONE OF 218 GRANT APPLICANTS.
53 IDOT GRANTS WERE AWARDED FOR A TOTAL OF 35 MILLION 700 THOUSAND DOLLARS.
