text: Pleased to announce today that $11.4 million for the Lockport Powerhouse is included in the bipartisan $1.1 trillion government spending bill that is under consideration in both the House and the Senate. The funding will facilitate the completion of the design and the awarding of a construction contract for repairs to the forebay wall at the facility operated by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. For more than a century, the Lockport Powerhouse has been instrumental in maintaining the Chicago waterways system. I am proud to announce this funding that will help to ensure the powerhouse remains viable for many years to come.
