Joliet firms offer to clean Hickory Creek flood plan
Eight Joliet contracting firms propose a $36,000 non profit project using carry-alls to clear Hickory Creek from Washington to Richards street. They would assume street damage liability and aim to move spoil to the south side of the creek. If unavailable the cost could rise to $80,000 to $90,000 with labor at cost. Army engineers estimate totals at $355,000 but funding failed, leaving city to act or abandon the flood control plan. The eight firms named are Powers-Thompson, Johnson Roadbuilders, Brown and Lambrecht, D'Andrea, John Kubinski, Libbie, Cliff Hammond, and Glen Carlson.
