History
The Rebuild Illinois (RBI) Roadwork Program includes the maintenance and reconstruction of various roadways/streets throughout the Village. Between May 2020 and September 2022, the Village received a total of $3,741,168.66 in six (6) installments, $623,258.11 each. Engineering used some of these funds for various projects, leaving a balance of $1,247,056.22. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is requiring the remaining RBI money to be spent in 2026, or it will need to be returned. The RBI Roadwork Program will utilize these funds. The program is guided by the recommendations of the Village’s pavement management consultant, Applied Research Associates (ARA), in collaboration with Public Works staff’s extensive knowledge of Village roadways.
