Scan all documents together and save. Example: Urbana Public Library Support.pdf
4) Attach all of these scanned documents as one attachment and also attach the completed Adobe.pdf file as a second attachment to Illinois.energy@illinois.gov Example: Attach Urbana Public Library Application.pdf and Urbana Public Library Support.pdf
• Electronic Submission is preferred or you can mail the project specific printed documents to: Illinois Energy Now, DCEO, 500 E. Monroe St., Springfield, IL 62701.
• Please don’t mail and e-mail the same Application, this leads to confusion and waste. DCEO only wants to receive forms specific to your project.
