“Since the onset of the pandemic, Illinois has been at the forefront of providing economic relief programs to address the urgent needs facing our local communities and to support our recovery from the pandemic,” Gov. J.B. Pritzker said in a statement.

Most communities in the region completed the process needed to claim the funds by last Thursday’s deadline, although several still must provide additional information. In Madison County, municipalities will share in more than $21 million in the population-based funds — more than $3.4 million will go to Edwardsville alone.

About $76,808 was left on the table in west-central Illinois and will be reallocated among the 1,250 eligible cities, towns and villages statewide, according to government records.

The Scott County village of Glasgow was one of the few in Illinois to decline the money, which is being funneled from the federal American Rescue Plan Act. It was eligible for $17,944.64.

Four others were labeled “non-responsive” by the deadline and also will have their money reallocated, according to the state. The Scott County village of Alsey will miss out on $28,548.28 and the town of Naples will give up $16,177.36. In Brown County, $11,147.43 that would have gone to the village of Ripley will be spread elsewhere and the Pike County village of Time will miss out on $2,990.77.

Illinois is distributing more than $742 million.

Nationwide, $19.53 billion was available for “non-entitlement units of local government,” or those with under 50,000 populations. Half of the total is being distributed within about 30 days of approval, with the remainder coming in 2022. The money must be allocated to projects by 2024 and spent by 2026, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.

“The state is providing every available resource to support our communities, businesses and residents in making a robust recovery from the pandemic,” Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity acting Director Sylvia Garcia said.
