The Greater Galesburg cities of Abingdon and Monmouth will use $500,000 grants from the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO) for infrastructure improvements, the DCEO said Thursday.

Abingdon will use the funds for sewer improvements, while Monmouth will put the money toward water distribution upgrades.

The state agency gave out more than $14.5 million in federal funds through Community Development Block Grants, with 36 communities in 29 counties receiving grants for various infrastructure projects.

“Public infrastructure is important not only for the day-to-day function of Illinoisans, but to bolster growth and economic development within a community,” Gov. Bruce Rauner said in a news release. “These grant dollars will be used for projects such as water, sanitary and sewer system improvements that will greatly support our low-income communities and attract more opportunities for residents.”
