completed during
this
construction
season.
The first
project,
covering 9th

Harrison, is
targeted for a
late September
completion. The
$415,000
repaving will be
covered under an
IDOT grant(80%)
and the 20%
village match

by the Madison
TIF.
The second
section of 9th
Avenue to be
improved will

Bataan Drive to
Roosevelt Road.
It will be
funded via
federal economic
stimulus
dollars—American
Recovery and
Reinvestment Act
of 2009
transportation
funding.
Village funds
will cover 20%
of the
construction
cost, which is
estimated at
$500,000. Bids
are expected in
September and,
weather
permitting, the
work will be
completed by
late fall.
