Naperville Tornado Relief is asking the Naperville City Council to contribute up to $500,000 to assist with the environmental cleanup work needed as a result of the June 20, 2021, tornado.
The funding would assist with final inspections to ensure that work replacing debris-laden lawns is completed with integrity, relief group co-founder Kristy Kennedy told the council Tuesday.“Children will be able to safely play and pets will be able to safely go out. People will be able to host backyard gatherings with friends and family, and everyone can wear sandals,” Kennedy said.
Councilman Benny White, acting as mayor pro tem for Steve Chirico, who attended the meeting by phone due to illness, suggested the city might use COVID-19 stimulus money from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.Kennedy said the relief initiative focuses on three priorities — yard replacement, landscape remediation and beautification — though the main goal is removing dangerous debris lodged in the dirt by the tornado.
If there’s money left after funding yard replacement, the plan is to offer grants to defray the cost of landscape remediation, she said.
