The City of Mattoon is proud to announce we have received a Tourism Attraction Grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) to support improvements at Lake Mattoon.
This project will include new sewer hookups at the West Campground and the addition of laundry facilities to better serve campers and visitors. These upgrades will enhance the overall visitor experience, support extended stays, and strengthen Lake Mattoon as a regional destination.
With a total project investment of approximately $167,000, this is another step forward in supporting tourism, local businesses, and quality of life in our community.
We look forward to sharing progress updates as work moves forward.
