For the second year in a row, Lincoln College has been awarded an environmental grant from Illinois American Water. The College was awarded a $2,714 grant, as well as an in-kind donation of water testing through Illinois American Water’s certified lab in Belleville, valued at over $3,000. The combined value of the grant and in-kind contribution makes the Lincoln College grant the largest of the 10 grants awarded.

A check presentation was held Monday, May 20, at the Campbell Creekside Outdoor Center for Environmental Education at Lincoln College.

While visiting Creekside for the check presentation, Gabe Bowden, of Illinois American Water’s Lincoln District, had a chance to view the work that was performed at Creekside using funds from last year’s grant from Illinois American Water, and to discuss addition groundwater research and mitigation projects at the site.
