The health and future of the Fox River is expected to soon become a focus of renewed public interest and debate. Driving this debate will be a new study by the US Army Corps of Engineers detailing the environmental benefits and other likely consequences of retaining, removing or modifying Fox’s dams. There are 15 such dams from the Chain of Lakes to the Illinois River.
What is driving the interest of the Army Corp and what costs and benefits can be expected by challenging the status quo? Art Malm’s presentation will provide Elgin Township Democrats with a first look at the elements of this debate that will literally shape the future of Our Fox River.
