SPRINGFIELD – The Capital Development Board (CDB) announced Friday more than $60 million in investments to address deferred maintenance projects for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR).
The funding, made possible by Governor JB Pritzker’s bipartisan Rebuild Illinois capital plan, will focus on five areas across Illinois. Lake Murphysboro State Park is among those fire areas.
The projects aim to address essential repairs, including water and wastewater systems, trail and bridge replacements, and site preservation efforts. State parks such as Lake Murphysboro State Park will see improvements that will provide recreational and educational benefits to the public.
Lake Murphysboro will receive $4.1 million in upgrades to sewage treatment and campground electrical systems, ensuring compliance with environmental and accessibility standards.
CDB will oversee the renovations in accordance with the protocol for state-appropriated construction projects, ensuring the work meets environmental and historic preservation standards.
