The National Park Service awarded the Illinois Department of Natural Resources a $400,000 Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning grant (CFDA 15.916) to pass through funds to the Plainfield Township Park District. The grant will support the acquisition of 6.5 acres of land along the DuPage River to connect existing sections of the DuPage River Trail, which serves as a major transportation corridor and recreation resource for Will County residents. This project will provide an uninterrupted 4-mile multi-use trail connecting to parks, open spaces, and other key destinations in the region.
