Lexington is due to receive $250,000 in American Rescue Plan funds.
McLean County cities and towns outside of Bloomington-Normal are waiting on millions of dollars in the last round of COVID relief funding.
Lexington Mayor Spencer Johansen chairs the McLean County Mayors Association. Speaking on WGLT s Sound Ideas, Johansen said Lexington is due to get $250,300, but the Pritzker administration hasn t said when smaller communities will get the money.
“It’s almost like you are waiting for a birthday card from your aunt and uncle and you know there is going to be a check in there, but you don’t know how much it is going to be, and you don’t want to complain because it’s money we didn’t have before,” Johansen said.
