The Quincy Salvation Army has assisted 16 people, helping them find permanent housing or maintaining their homes, thanks to a $5,000 grant from Ameren Illinois.
The City of Quincy has been selected, for the third consecutive year, by Ameren Illinois as a Most Progressive City. Quincy was selected in part based on the significant energy savings achieved by local businesses and residents over the last year. This marks the first time residential energy savings have been factored into the award selection.
Ameren Illinois has contributed $10,000 to the Trees for Tomorrow campaign to help the City of Quincy replace trees that were destroyed by a mid-July storm. Ameren Illinois made the announcement at a news conference this morning at Madison Park in Quincy.
Officials gathered at midday Wednesday for a press conference to provide an update on the repair and recovery efforts in Quincy following Monday night’s storm.
