Rural Rental Housing loan aids Marion properties update
Williamson Village Partners in Marion received a 329000 Rural Rental Housing Direct Loan from USDA Rural Development Rep Jerry Costello said funds will be used to repair and update properties. He noted USDA loans leverage funding and support rural economic development in Southern Illinois. Deputies reported a Sunday traffic crash at Giant City and Pleasant Hill roads with no injuries. 28 year old Michael Roeder was cited for failure to reduce speed after rear ending a car driven by 22 year old Christopher Brooks. Roeder and a 2 year old passenger were taken to Memorial Hospital of Carbondale as a precaution. In a separate crash Bradley Wilcox of rural Murphysboro was ejected from a 2004 Pontiac GTO on Ava Road at Casey Road around 7:20 p.m. Saturday and flown to St Louis University Hospital after initial care at St Joseph’s Memorial Hospital of Murphysboro.
