New plan released to help reduce flooding in the Calumet Corridor

The Center for Neighborhood Technology released “RainReady” flood prevention plans on 3/22 for six south suburban communities including Blue Island, Calumet City, Calumet Park, Dolton, Riverdale and Robbins. The plans help each town reduce systemic flooding issues while creating more beautiful, economically vibrant communities.
