The St. Joseph Community Park is one of three area projects or agencies that received the 2008 Governor's Home Town Award.
A new village park, an academy dedicated to giving former high school dropouts a new start on life and a new memorial for the men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan were honored by the state last week as the 2008 winners of the Governor's Home Town Awards.
The awards are annually presented by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
