Overview
Overview
In April the Village submitted an Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) pre-application for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program for the Lombard Avenue Relief Sewer project. IEMA reviewed the pre-application materials and based on the grant application and the merits of the project, IEMA is recommending the Village apply to FEMA for funding for this project. The Village has plans to replace and upsize the existing sewer on Lombard Avenue from Erie Street to Greenfield Street to improve capacity and reduce the likelihood of sewer backups in basements. The sewer project is identified in the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan for construction in 2025 and 2026. If selected for funding, the grant would cover up to 75% of the costs for design and construction of the future project.
