U.S. Representative Robin Kelly voted to advance the first Fiscal Year 2024 government appropriations package and fund nearly $15 million of community projects for her district. The legislation is expected to be passed by the Senate and signed by President Biden soon.
Among the appropriations approved is $850,000 for the City of Danville’s Madison Neighborhood Revitalization Project. Mayor Rickey Williams says the money is to help a variety of projects involving community development such as blight reduction and housing improvements around the Carle medical campus.
Congresswoman Kelly said this funding will improve public safety, support working families, and help communities thrive. She said these investments will build stronger communities across Illinois.
