3 alleys in Markham transformed 11,700 square feet of impervious surface into permeable pavement, helping retain 90,501 gallons of stormwater. Green alleys help reduce localized flooding, improve water quality, and create safer and more environmentally responsible communities.

The storms we’ve faced this week have tested Cook County but MWRD captured 7 billion gallons of stormwater, sparing countless families from worse flooding.
As your Commissioner, I remain committed to protecting homes, keeping families safe, and ensuring clean water for all. #cookcounty #chicago

Exciting to see so many stormwater management projects in the works. Today, we voted to enter into 16 new intergovernmental agreements with municipalities across Cook County—advancing our mission to build climate-resilient infrastructure and protect our communities from flooding.

Was humbled to walk the halls and meet with many leaders and friends I deeply admire and cherish. #servingillinois

At the center of Illinois government with my MWRD colleagues. #legislativeday #ilstatecapitol

Last week I made the trip to Springfield to do what I was elected to do; fight for cleaner water for downstream communities, support industrial reuse to power Illinois's quantum future, and champion good government reforms.
