Dangerous wood, metal and glass shards embedded in the yards of 70 Naperville homes by an EF-3 tornado on June 20, 2021, will be removed and the soil replaced through a grant from the state.
State Rep. Anne Stava-Murray, D-Naperville, was able to include $1 million for the needed environmental cleanup in the state’s capital program that was adopted during the Legislature’s lame duck session this past week.“This is huge,” said Kristy Kennedy, co-founder of Naperville Tornado Relief. “The grant means kids can play in their yards again this summer.”
Residents say the ground surrounding their homes is filled with dangerous materials and they can’t let their children or pets use them without fear of injury. Whatever the group collects from other sources would be used for landscaping and beautification projects, Kennedy added. “What inspired me was just seeing my neighbors in need and seeing my constituents, knowing that tornadoes like this could hit any one of us in any one of these districts across the state of Illinois,” Stava-Murray said.
