A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Clark County on September 26, 2024, by the East Central Reporter. The request pertains to all payments made to vendors from January 1, 2024, through September 26, 2024.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at East Central Reporter requested the following records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act: a list of all payments to vendors within the specified period with details including vendor name, transaction date, transaction description, and amount.
The Illinois Department of Transportation announced in July 2023 the most extensive multi-year program, Rebuild Illinois, to improve and repair all modes of transportation. Governor JB Pritzker said, "Over the next six years, we're investing over $40 billion to improve all modes of transportation across our great state. That means better roads and bridges, modernized transit and aviation, and expanded and faster passenger rail service."
