A central Illinois city will be receiving $2 million in improvements for its industrial park development.  Litchfield will be receiving nearly $2 million in the next disbursement of the Rebuild Illinois program funding to extend natural gas and electrical utilities within the industrial park development.  

State Senator Doris Turner has continued her support of these deals saying that Litchfield has grown to become a regional hub for business and development that has propelled the city to new prosperity.  

There are a total of $1.5 billion spread out through six installments over the next three years for the Rebuild Illinois project and it will help advance municipal, township, and county projects throughout the state. Projects include road and bridge improvements, traffic signal upgrades, new storm sewers, and bike paths, sidewalk replacements, and other long-term fixes. 

Senator Turner continued by saying that the investment into the industrial park of Litchfield will go a long way to helping the city and the surrounding area.
