On or about May 27th, 2020, The City of Monticello intends to apply to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for three grants from the State CDBG program. This program is funded by Title 1 of the federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. These funds are to be used to provide working capital for the benefit of Monticello Red Wheel, Inc. The total amount of CDBG funds to be requested is $25,000.00, and will address the urgent needs of these businesses due to the COVID-19 emergency.
Due to all City of Monticello offices being closed to the public, information related to these applications will be available for review prior to the public hearing, beginning May 18th, 2020.
