Congresswoman Cheri Bustos announced that nearly $100,000 in U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) rural infrastructure grants have been awarded to Morrison, Oquawka, and Williamsfield, IL.
“Our small Cities and Villages are the fabric of the Heartland and the drivers of our rural economy,” Congresswoman Bustos said. “Since I was elected to Congress nearly a decade ago, I’ve always prioritized ensuring that all of our communities receive the attention and support they deserve, from the Federal Government. I’m so glad to announce that Morrison…will be receiving…[funding] in USDA Rural Development grants for important local projects.”
USDA Rural Development delivers a number of programs to help improve the quality of life in rural communities throughout the nation. The grants…were awarded through the USDA’s Community Facilities Disaster Grant program.
The City of Morrison will receive a $48,200 Rural Development grant to complete the construction of its Library roof. The City will remove the existing asphalt roof and replace it with a metal roof, to prevent leaking.
