DeKALB – Northern Illinois University’s archaic boiler system finally has the green light to go away and make room for modern equipment.
According to a news release from the office of Gov. Bruce Rauner, more than $6.6 million in capital funding has been released as part of the budget approved in late May.
“I am pleased to see this much-needed investment in infrastructure improvements at NIU move forward,” Rep. Jeff Keicher, R-Sycamore, said in the release. He was appointed to Bob Pritchard’s seat when Pritchard resigned in order to join NIU’s Board of Trustees. “I applaud my new colleagues in the General Assembly for including this funding in the FY19 state budget and look forward to working together to strengthen our commitment to higher education at NIU and across the state.”
