NORTHBROOK, IL — The Northbrook Park District is set to receive $600,000 as part of state grants for projects throughout Illinois. Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources announced Tuesday $54.9 million in grant money has been earmarked for 111 local park and recreation projects.

In addition, according to Pritzker's office, 32 underserved locations will receive $18.7 million in grants from the Open Space Acquisition and Development program. This marks the 37th year for the program, which is administered by the IDNR.

"Since day one as Governor, it's been my mission to support the health and well-being of Illinoisans," Pritzker said.

All across Illinois, we’re enhancing our state's natural beauty and creating safer, healthier, and happier communities."
