Hanover Township met Friday to discuss plans for the Izaak Walton Center & Reserve in Elgin. The $800,000 project is funded in part by a grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Of nine bids, the construction contract was awarded to E.P. Doyle & Son, LLC. in April.

Mount Prospect stands to receive $6.55 million through the federal coronavirus relief package known as the American Rescue Plan, Finance Director Amit Thakkar told the village board this week.
The plan, signed into law March 11, provides $65.1 billion for counties and $45.57 billion for cities across the country.
The village expects to receive half the funding by May 10 and the rest one year later. It must use the money by Dec. 31, 2024, to assist households, small businesses, nonprofits and others impacted negatively by the pandemic, provide premium pay for essential employees, or invest in water, sewer or broadband infrastructure.
It cannot be used to cover lost revenues from tax cuts or to make up for pension shortfalls.
