Hickory Creek projects progress and funding in Joliet
City officials report 65 percent easement acquisition for a Hickory Creek dredging project after Illinois approved 360000 for work from Richards Street to the creek mouth. Phase two seeks repairs to the park dam and possible dams in Messenger’s Woods, with funding pursued in 1961. Residents complain of stench as authorities consider costs from 17000 patchwork to near 100000 rebuilt dam.
