Franklin Park gets $1.5M in federal infrastructure grants for road, water main improvements

Village officials announced March 14 a grant for $959,752 received through U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia’s office. As Garcia noted in a news release, the funding will increase public safety by replacing lead water pipes and also improve appearances.

“The funding goes beyond road repair as it provides families with access to clean water while creating a more welcoming, landscaped environment,” Garcia stated.
