The substantial grant was awarded to the City of Edwardsville through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program, a highly competitive initiative aimed at enhancing safety, sustainability, and connectivity within communities. The funding announcement, initially made in June, was a collaborative effort by Budzinski, alongside U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth.
The Goshen Road corridor, which will benefit from this project, is a crucial artery for the city, linking commercial areas, schools, residential neighborhoods, a medical campus, and the Plummer Family Sports Park.
Budzinski said the improvements are expected to significantly enhance the infrastructure, making it safer and more accessible for all residents.
