Cities across Illinois are waiting to find out if they’re getting grants they applied for a year or more ago. There are a lot of delays processing grant applications during the pandemic. Oglesby City Commissioner Jason Curran says the city’s waiting to find out what it’s getting, if anything, for replacing a water main under Columbia Ave.
Mayor Dominic Rivara says the city is still waiting for money to repair fire hydrants. That amounts to $132,000.
