Washington - U.S. Congressman Jerry Costello (D-IL) announced today that Pulaski County has received a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Rural Development. The funds will be used to help replace the heating and air conditioning systems in the county courthouse.
"This money will allow the county to more effectively conduct its business," Costello said. "I will continue to support efforts to improve the infrastructure of Southern Illinois."
