Beautification Efforts

The City, together with its Urban Forestry Commission, was awarded a U.S. Forest Service/Illinois Department of Natural Resources tree planting grant in the amount of $25,000. These funds will be matched by the City and fund approximately 130 new trees. The trees will be planted in the northeast quadrant of the City over the next two years.
