HARRISBURG - April 2, 2012. At the direction of Governor Pat Quinn, the heads of a number of state agencies today announced in Harrisburg up to $13 million of financial aid and construction projects to help families, businesses and local governments recover from the deadly tornado that ravaged several Southern Illinois communities on Feb. 29. The package put together at the Governor's instruction includes reimbursements to local governments for some of their disaster-related expenses, road improvements, grants to help homeowners repair or rebuild damaged homes, and low-interest business loans to create jobs and help businesses recover.
"This assistance package offers real solutions for the long-term recovery effort in Harrisburg and other communities," Governor Quinn said. "Recovery from this tornado won't happen overnight, but these resources will help residents and businesses of hard hit areas in Southern Illinois begin to rebuild their lives."
