Improving Community Life

In 2004, IFA

• Approved $162 million in financing for 6 environmental projects -- for local government infrastructure improvements such as water, sewer and waste disposal.

Two of these projects, representing nearly 80% of the environmental financing, fund broad-based statewide programs -- like the Illinois EPA Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds -- that support towns and cities across Illinois.

• Approved $468 million in financing for 23 nonprofit projects -- for community and social service organizations ranging from parks to museums to low-income housing to support for the disabled.

• When completed, these projects will create 1402 new jobs and 1261 construction jobs in this sector.

IFA is making good things happen all over Illinois. Contact your local IFA Funding Manager about your next project.
