The village secured $385,000 in grant funding from the West Suburban Mass Transit District and $700,000 in federal funding through U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-3rd Dist., Western Springs, for interior and exterior renovations.
The architect’s construction estimate for the project was $875,035.
The lowest base bid the village received was $1.03 million, with the highest at $1.3 million.
