Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–August 2, 2013. Today, Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth (IL-08) announced that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded a $3.8 million dollar grant to the Village of Bartlett Stormwater Management Project. Funds from this grant will go towards the construction of two stormwater detention bases, a small berm and inlets to more effectively manage and control stormwater and flooding.
“This April, severe flooding devastated communities in the 8th District. This much needed grant from FEMA will enable the Village of Bartlett to better prepare for stormwater and flooding problems in the future. Our taxpayers contribute more than their fair share to the Federal Government and I am pleased to see that resources are coming back to our communities.”
