Families moving into new Valley Homes apartments By Lisa Neff Staff writer ROCK ISLAND Three families will move into new apartments Monday at Valley Homes, the housing authority complex where a year long renovation job was recently finished. The housing authority and residents will mark the occasion with an open house Monday at 1:30 p.m., said Rebecca Ales, the housing authority's executive director. The $2.1 million in renovations at Valley Homes included redesigning the exterior, upgrading and replacing the plumbing and electrical wiring, removing asbestos and installing new floors, handrails, lighting fixtures and cabinets in three of the five buildings. "We're quite pleased with the results of our year-long effort to make Valley Homes a better place for our residents to live," Ms. Ales said.

Work on the buildings began at Valley Homes one year ago after months of negotiating the project with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The housing authority originally anticipated using two HUD modernization grants to renovate all five buildings. But renovation costs exceeded expectations, and the grants were consolidated to complete renovations on three buildings. "Thanks to the HUD modernization grant and the fine work of area architects, engineers, tradesmen and housing authority staff, we have a housing development that is desirable for adults and children alike," Ms.

Ales said. A proposal to demolish the other two Valley Homes buildings is now before HUD. The demolished apartments would be replaced with scattered-site housing, she said. State Treasurer Quinn wants Edgar to sign recyclable bill By Lisa Neff Staff writer ROCK ISLAND Charlotte Pincomb of Rock Island discards three shopping bags of recyclables at the drop-off center on 16th Avenue every other week, with the hope that the material will be useful and will not wind up in a landfill. A state legislative bill awaiting Gov.

Jim Edgar's signature could provide the support needed to create a strong market for recyclables dropped off by Ms. Pincomb and other Illinois residents, according to Patrick Quinn, state treasurer. "It's not enough to collect recyclables," Mr. Quinn said during a press conference Saturday at the recycling center in Rock Island. "We've got to convert those materials to market products." The bill, recently approved by R.I.

man held in armed robbery ROCK ISLAND A Rock Island man is being held on $100,000 bail at the county jail after his arrest Friday in connection with an armed robbery. Anthony F. Jefferson, 22, of 613 13th was arrested following a criminal investigations bureau inquiry, Rock Island Police Chief Anthony Scott said.

the General Assembly, would create the Illinois Recyclable Markets Development Advisory Council. The nine-member council would help secure loans for businesses that use recyclables to make new products. Mr. Quinn said the loans would be made by financial institutions and carry an 85-percent guarantee from the Illinois Development Finance Authority. "Through innovative programs like this one, we can stimulate economic development with very little cost to the state," Mr.

Quinn said. "We cannot afford to pass up a single opportunity to support the recycling industry, because of its great potential to create jobs while cleaning up our environment. We need to encourage any company that can use materials that otherwise would go into our already over-flowing landfills." Mr. Quinn said the United States, despite its high ranking as a waste producer, falls behind others in recycling technology. "We've got to invest, provide loans, capital and credit, so we can convert those plastic milk bottles into plastic lumber or other plastic products.

Men and women can get jobs in recycling if we invest. In my opionion, this is one of the solutions to our economic problems in Illinois. The recycling industry is a job growth industry," he said. Mr. Quinn said he expects Gov.

Edgar to sign the bill. Mr. Quinn said the legislation, which he promoted, had bipartisan support in the General Assembly. The State Senate had earlier approved the bill. REAL ESTATE AUCTION SAT.
