We proclaimed June 17th as World Refugee Day in Chicago to honor refugee communities and their indelible contributions to our city and our country. Our city is richer and more vibrant because of the talent, diversity, and unique experiences refugee communities bring to our Welcoming City.

Happy Juneteenth, Chicago. Juneteenth is not just a commemoration of emancipation—it’s a call to action. It’s a reminder that freedom must be made real in housing, healthcare, education, and opportunity. #juneteenth #freedomday

Proud to announce the beginning of construction for one of the country’s most significant water infrastructure developments: the GPWC Water Project. This site will deliver water through Chicago to approximately 250,000 residents of the SW suburbs whose current water source is rapidly depleting.

We're excited to announce the opening of the Navy Pier Marina, the first new marina to open in Chicago in decades. The Marina will act as a gateway for visitors, a resource for neighbors, and an opportunity hub for our youth to gain valuable workforce skills.
