Your organization is important to help identify and define opportunities for natural lands, open space, recreation, stormwater management and economic development within the Millennium Reserve Calumet Core. Created by executive order of Governor Quinn, the Millennium Reserve is a 220-square mile opportunity—from Chicago to south Cook County—to transform our region (see map).  Illinois has already invested nearly $3.3M in Millennium Reserve projects. Each agency/organization is encouraged to send one representative.
