SPRING VALLEY – It was a crowded meeting Tuesday night in Spring Valley as residents gathered to give their views on the proposed Community Development Block Grant Project.
Connie Buchanan of the North Central Illinois Council of Governments explained the program would provide access to $550,000 dollars for resident-owners to improve their property in the designated areas of Spring Valley. Ten homeowners could be selected to receive up to $50,000 in a forgivable loan for housing rehabilitation based on income and improvement needs.
Residents were surveyed regarding their property, and an assessor will be taking a detailed look at homes. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity will receive the application from Spring Valley in August.
