The Illinois Department of Transportation is hosting several workshops throughout the state in May and June to help local governments and communities learn about and apply for funding opportunities.
In a release, Governor Pritzker states that this is an opportunity to work with IDOT to improve communities and enhance local quality of life. These workshops will help local stakeholders understand the programs offered, plan projects and write informative and compelling applications. The Special Programs Assistance Conferences are designed to help potential grantees take part in the department’s Economic Development Program, Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program and Safe Routes to School Program. These conferences will be in 7 different cities including Effingham and Collinsville.
Staff from IDOT will be available to offer general information and answer questions one-on-one. Advance registration is encouraged. You can find more information on our website.
