The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Board on Thursday approved an agreement with the Village of Glenview that is intended to reduce the risk of flooding for more than 1,000 homeowners in the flat, flood-prone North Shore community.
David St. Pierre, executive director of MWRD, explained to the board that the Glenview pact should be the first of several agreements MWRD reaches to transfer cash to municipal governments for flood prevention infrastructure.
“We’re working with each community in Cook County to come up with a localized flooding plan,” St. Pierre said.
