MCHENRY – The City Council approved a $15,000 project to link the municipal center’s communications network with the public works facility’s system.

The installation of a “2-hop microwave system” by Future Link of Illinois for the two facilities was unanimously approved during Monday night’s City Council meeting, and is expected to be up and running this year.

The project will establish a network connection between the municipal center at 333 S. Green St. and the public works building at 1415 Industrial Drive and provide centralized data management and data recovery.
