Around 380 local governments in Illinois haven’t claimed their share of federal pass-through money to cover COVID-19 related costs, according to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. The deadline for local governments to apply is December 1. If the funds aren’t claimed, they’ll be reallocated to other communities in need. Governor J.B. Pritizker urges county and municipal leaders to apply for the funds designed to help recover from the pandemic setbacks.
