Governor Quinn Announces $247,000 for Crescent City Construction Project

CRESCENT CITY – Governor Pat Quinn today announced a capital investment of more than $247,000 for sidewalk work in the Iroquois County community of Crescent City. The project is part of Governor Quinn’s agenda to create jobs and drive Illinois’ economy forward.

“Anyone walking in Crescent City will benefit from this project,” Governor Quinn said. “The construction project will also employ a number of construction workers, which will help the local economy as well.”

Sidewalks will be built or replaced, and pedestrian signs, crosswalk striping and detectable warnings will be added on various streets in Crescent City for $247,423 by Iroquois Paving Corporation of Watseka, the lowest of four bidders. The Illinois Department of Transportation will manage the project.

This project is part of Governor Quinn’s $31 billion Illinois Jobs Now! program, which will support more than 439,000 jobs over six years. Illinois Jobs Now! is the largest capital construction program in Illinois history, and is one of the largest capital construction programs in the nation.
