| PARK DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS AT WORK! |
| Commissioners Steve Loftus (top and right) and Cathy Abbott visited several small communities in western Illinois. The independent self-funded trip visit helped the Commissioners define projects undertaken by communities similar in size and natural resources to Momence. Included in the fact finding mission was information regarding funding for a variety of park projects. Communities visited included Dixon, Sterling, Phrophetstown, Orion and Aleso. The Commissioners also attended the 2009 Main Street Conference. The Park District is currently involved in developing and completing an Interpretive Trail and Fishing Pavilion with financial assistance through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Union Pacific Railroad. The District continues to look to the future for alternative avenues to tax dollars to fund additional improvements. |
