On Friday, Winnebago County Board member Jim Webster presented a $25,000 check to Rockton Township to help pay for the more than $200,000 in improvements happening at the center.

The money comes from a portion of the $54.8 million in American Rescue Plan money allocated to Winnebago County. A portion of that money goes toward economic development initiatives in each County Board district.
