Acknowledgments

Chicago River Blue Program Development Participants

Friends of the Chicago River would like to thank all the participants of the Chicago River Blue development process who contributed their time, creativity, and professional expertise to help develop Chicago River Blue.

Established with the belief that with the right tools and information riverfront development can protect and create public access, water quality and habitat, Chicago River Blue and the Blue Ribbon Awards will reward river-friendly development and lay the foundation for more throughout the entire Chicago River watershed.

Thank you to all who contributed.
