We have a lot of needs in the Village of Steger. From fixing drainage issues, to road repair, water infrastructure improvements, and sidewalk improvements. This does not even include day to day expenses, like snow removal or fixing water main breaks. Nor does it include the costs of providing services. Although we had a surplus in 2019 (we are still determining 2020 with our auditors), such surplus is not enough. So it is so important that we have elected officials that not only get grants, but they get sizable grants. Mayor Peterson, Village Clerk Zagone, and Trustees Buxton, Lopez and Skrezyna have gotten us grants and will work hard to get more. Here is a recent list of our grant activity.
