On Friday, Governor J.B. Pritzker announced 74 local governments will receive funding from the more than $740 million that the state will eventually receive from the American Rescue Plan.

The recipients include Andalusia ($78,000), Coal Valley ($253,000), Milan ($339,000), Silvis ($508,000).

The state is urging local governments to apply for funding by the end of September. So far, half of the more than 1,200 eligible cities, towns, and villages in Illinois have applied for funding. Eligible local governments include those with populations of less than 50,000 that have not received direct federal aid so far.
