Plans for Southern Illinois grants aid local development
Two regional planning commissions in Southern Illinois will receive state grants from the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs. The Southern Five Regional Planning District gets 10000 dollars and the Southwestern Metropolitan Area Regional Planning Commission 14500 dollars to prepare communities for federal aid and to develop housing codes. The funds come from HUD via the state, part of a transition from HUD Small Cities to the CDA program, with six other commissions also receiving grants.
