U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider announced a $110,048 grant Wednesday for Lake County Partners, a nonprofit organization that leads economic development in Lake County.
The grant money comes through the Economic Development Administration, as part of the CARES Act, to fund updates to Lake County s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. The effort aims to create and retain more jobs, attract private investment and bolster local economic resiliency, according to an announcement of the grant.
I m thrilled that CARES Act funding is making this investment in our area and in our long-term economic health, Schneider, a Democrat from Deerfield, said in the announcement. I commend Lake County Partners for its strategic efforts to improve our future economic resiliency, and I will continue doing everything I can to invest in our local economy and get people back to work.
