HISTORY

“The City That Made Chicago Famous”

I

llinois is the nation’s most populous inland state. Its successful growth is due in large part to the Illinois and Michigan Canal, a revolutionary development that linked the Great Lakes to the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. The Canal was vital to the development of the great city of Chicago and to the economic development of the Midwest; the Canal also fostered the growth of the small settlement that became the City of Lockport.

The beautiful Des Plaines River Valley was a portage site for the Des Plaines River for the Miami and Potawatomi, and famed explorers Joliet and Marquette traversed the region on their journeys. The first permanent settler in this region was Armstead Runyon, who built a homestead along Fiddyment Creek in 1830.

A small settlement that took the name Runyonstown developed here; but this was a region destined for greater things. Chief Engineer William Gooding, working to complete the Illinois and Michigan Canal, realized that the site, which is 40 feet higher than Joliet, had great water-power potential. In 1837, Gooding oversaw construction of the Canal’s headquarters building here, and Illinois and Michigan Canal commissioners platted and named the town of Lockport.

Lockport thrived in its early days as the Canal’s headquarters and as an agricultural processing center.

As the first navigable link between the Great Lakes region and the Mississippi River, the Canal played an enormous role in the economic growth of Illinois and the Midwest; at the height of the Canal’s prosperity, its headquarters was second in importance in Illinois only to the state capitol building. In the Canal’s heyday, Lockport saw the construction of dozens of flour mills, grain warehouses and boatyards, as well as the creation of great amounts of wealth for savvy entrepreneurs. Lockport was incorporated as a town in 1853. The arrival of the Chicago and Alton Railroad in 1858 was the catalyst for even more growth in agricultural trade.

At the close of the 19th century, construction of the Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Calumet-Sag

Channel ended the grain trade on the Illinois and Michigan Canal. However, the downward turn in Lockport’s fortunes did not last long, and the region’s economy revived after 1911 with the construction of the Texas Company’s refinery on the north side of Lockport. Additionally, the arrival of commuter train travel to Chicago and the birth of the Chicago and Joliet Interurban Electric Railway helped ensure Lockport’s survival after its incorporation as a city in 1904.

The importance of the Illinois and Michigan Canal and Lockport to the economic vitality of Illinois cannot be overstated. As a direct waterway link between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, the Canal helped to cement Chicago’s dominance over St. Louis as the center of Midwestern trade and, thereby, Lockport’s legacy as “the city that made Chicago famous.”

Today, Lockport is a thriving city of more than 20,000 that’s rapidly growing and looking toward the future. But Lockport’s residents and leaders are also determined to preserve its storied past. Lockport is leading the way in preserving and promoting the history of the Illinois and Michigan Canal Corridor, which is becoming a living history museum celebrating American enterprise and invention. The headquarters building of the Canal Commission, a National Historic Landmark, today serves as the home of the Illinois and Michigan Canal Museum. The native stone warehouses of the Canal’s heyday still stand, as does the first lock built on this vital waterway. The city is also actively working to preserve and promote the historic downtown district, which boasts many significant structures.

Because of proactive efforts dating back several years, the city of Lockport is one of the best-preserved Canal sites in existence today. This unique chapter in American history is being maintained for the illumination and pride of residents of all of Illinois, today and for generations to come.

GOVERNMENT

T

At Work for the People

he City of Lockport is governed by a mayor and an eight-member city council. Lockport Township is governed by a supervisor and a four-member board of trustees. A clerk, assessor, highway commissioner and collector handle day-to-day operations. Both city and township government offices are located in Central Square in Lockport, a beautiful three-story, Romanesque building of creamcolored limestone constructed in 1895.

The Lockport Police Department, a full-service agency, patrols around-the-clock and also operates an investigations division and a crime prevention bureau. The department works with other regional agencies to staff Mans, a multi-agency drug-enforcement task force, and the Will County Gang Suppression Unit.

Community outreach programs include D.A.R.E., G.R.E.A.T., Neighborhood Watch and Operation Identify. Lockport operates

an enhanced 911 system, which displays the caller’s location to the operator, allowing officers to respond even if the caller is unable to speak.

BUSINESS & INDUSTRY

Growing to Serve

L

ockport’s economy has always benefited from the city’s ideal location, transportation infrastructure and proximity to Chicago. Local colleges provide a steady stream of well-trained graduates for the workforce, as well as specialized training programs that area businesses can access.

Working to serve the region’s business community, the Lockport Chamber of Commerce is a well-established organization that promotes business development and networking opportunities. It also acts as a liaison between businesses and local officials, financial groups, and various associations in Lockport in a continuing effort to enhance the quality of life for residents.

Major commercial employers in the area include: • CITGO, refining company, 650 employees • Freedom Imaging Systems, commercial printer, 140 employees • Panduit Corporation, electronic components manufacturer, 75 employees • Walco Tool, tool and die, 72 employees

Other major employers include Kinetic Systems, Sonoco Plasti-Drum, Paramount Plastics and Material Service.

Two major industrial parks in Lockport are already serving area industries. One is along Canal Street, while the other is located on New Avenue. There is also ongoing business and industrial development along the Interstate 355 corridor.

Improving Transportation Lockport is anticipating attracting future commercial development through

improving transportation accessibility.

Leading the list of projects is development of Interstate 355.

“As everyone knows, we have been waiting for years for I-355 to become a reality; and as everyone also knows, larger developments wanting to come to Lockport have been waiting years for it to become reality as well,” says Kimberly Jones, assistant planner for the City of Lockport. “I am glad to say we are finally seeing it happen, and the range of quality developments approaching Lockport is quite large. We fully anticipate seeing commercial developments come in to offset the taxes that our residents pay.”

Work is progressing on a 12.5-mile extension of I-355, which is scheduled to open to traffic at the end of 2007. The extension will tie I-355 at Bolingbrook to I-80 at New Lenox. The Tollway is scheduled to start constructing the crossroad bridges at 151st, 159th, 163rd, Gougar, 167th and Bruce Road in March 2006, and will complete them in July 2007. The entire construction project is scheduled for completion in late 2007.

However, I-355 is not the only major road construction that will be improving traffic in Lockport.

The Will County Department of Highways is planning a major corridor called the Caton Farm Road-Bruce Road Corridor. This plan will provide another means of crossing the I&M Canal and will help lessen the traffic off the East 9th Street Bridge. This new corridor will run directly through Lockport via Bruce Road or Oak Avenue. The time frame on this corridor is not known at the time of this writing; however, the Planning and Engineering Departments have been planning for it for some time.

New in 2006!

The summer of 2006 was a busy time for Lockport, with major commercial developments breaking ground. The areas that are attracting the most commercial development are the properties between 159th Street and 163rd and Farrell and Gougar roads. Some highlights of new development include: • A Super Wal-Mart is moving in at the NEC of Farrell Road and 163rd Street, bringing residents expanded shopping choices as well as many new jobs.

According to Wal-Mart’s Fiscal Impact Study, dated January 2005, the store is projecting that the total taxable value of the development, after completion, will be $6.86 million; a surplus in City of Lockport revenue of $789,513 annually is projected.

• The family-owned Aldi grocery chain is constructing a 16,207-square-foot store along Farrell Road.

• A 50-acre retail and office park has been proposed by TCB Development, to be located between the Jewel/Osco complex and Wal-Mart. Annexation, zoning and preliminary plan approval began in May 2006. This development has great potential for future restaurants, retail establishments and business offices.

• Development of Peak Sports Performance Academy, a sportsplex, has been proposed. The development, to be located on the north side of 159th Street, just west of Interstate 355, will include a 100,000-squarefoot building along with two restaurants and 13 retail stores.

• The next phase of construction of the Jewel/Osco complex, headed by TBS www.lockportchamber.com | 7

Lockport is on the grow with the construction of many new commercial developments.

Properties, began in 2006. Potential tenants include a hardware store, a restaurant and two multi-tenant buildings.

• Construction is under way on Creekside Center, which will offer a mix of office and retail uses. There will be one large retail building at the southeast corner of the site, with two fast-food restaurants in the southwest corner. In addition, there will be seven office buildings on the northern half of the site. These buildings will be arranged in a campus-like setting with an internal courtyard.

• There has been a proposal for a new medical facility to provide non-emergency care along 159th Street, just east of Clover Ridge Drive.

• The mayor has formed a downtown committee to focus on making the city’s downtown a destination site by improving the area both aesthetically and for visitor convenience. One of the committee’s first efforts is establishing a location for a parking garage.

• The Prime Business Park, located on the south side of Division Street just east of I-355, will be undergoing expansion this summer. The first building to be constructed will be the new Public Works building for the City of Lockport. The remaining lots are still available for purchase.

• Malysa Commercial (Lockport Center), located between Thornton Avenue and Highland Avenue, is a planned unit development on a 12-acre parcel. It will have six retail units and four commercial building with 12 units in each, as well as 48 condos.

• The Crossroads of Lockport project is located at the intersection of 159th and Thornton Avenue. The development will consist of a 19,180-squarefoot strip center, with space for 13 different stores.

As the economy in Lockport continues to expand and diversify, city leaders are working to balance growth with respectful preservation of the city’s unique heritage.

This careful blend of historic ambience and 21st-century growth and convenience is drawing more and more eyes to Lockport every day.

Caring for a Community

T

he residents of Lockport are fortunate to have abundant skilled health care through a variety of state-of-the-art facilities located just minutes away.

Following are just a few of the region’s top health providers.

Silver Cross Hospital

BY TRACY SIMONS Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet is the only community hospital in the southwest suburbs named as one of the 100 top hospitals in the nation for two consecutive years by Solucient, the leading source of health care business intelligence. The award recognizes only 100 of over 5,000 hospitals throughout the United States. In 2004, Silver Cross was recognized by Solucient as a Performance Improvement Leader hospital for developing consistent and effective organization-wide performance improvement across critical measures. The hospital was also recognized by the American Alliance of Healthcare Providers for 2004 and 2005 as one of America’s friendliest hospitals with the Hospital of Choice award.

The hospital recently asked patients why they drive the extra mile for the “Silver Cross Experience” and received over 500 responses. Common themes included the free valet and shuttle service, ease of registration, little or no waiting, and the friendliness and skill of the staff. Over the past year, the hospital has enhanced its hospitality by adding service ambassadors who escort patients and visitors to their destination on the campus and assist with any needs they may have.

Silver Cross is also leading the way in cutting-edge technology. The hospital is implementing a picture archival and communications system (PACS) to

digitize patients’ diagnostic images. CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and X-ray images that are currently printed out on film will be available electronically to physicians and caregivers anytime, anywhere. The addition of a 64-slice CT scanner for improved diagnostic pictures of the heart and other areas of the body is planned for the coming months. Using personal digital assistants (PDAs), physicians will have immediate access to patient information to easily retrieve diagnostic images. And, to reduce the possibility of medication errors, nurses and pharmacists will be able to double-check medications before distribution to patients using bar code scanning technology. Silver Cross is also implementing a bedside alarm system that alerts nurses when patients are leaving the bed when they shouldn’t be.

Concern for safety and comfort are evident in the plans for the hospital’s current expansion initiatives. Silver Cross opened a new 35-bed patient care unit for orthopedic, bariatric, gynecological, neurosurgical and general surgery patients in April 2006. Seventy-five percent of rooms will be private. Patients in the new unit will be able to control just about everything in the room from the bed, including temperature, lighting and the Internet system, available on flat-screen HDTV. All rooms will have a work area for nursing staff that includes a wireless mobile computer system and a dedicated sink for hand washing.

Silver Cross is expanding the emergency department (ED) to accommodate 60,000 patients annually. When completed by the end of 2006, the ED will have 26 glassenclosed treatment bays — four equipped for trauma patients — six observation rooms, a dedicated CT scanner, two X-ray rooms, and two family consulting rooms.

Silver Cross was the first hospital in the

14 | Lockport Chamber of Commerce Community Profile & Resource Guide

area to significantly eliminate the wait in the emergency department. Many patients who have a minor illness or injury are in and out of the hospital in about an hour.

Silver Cross has developed an extensive ambulatory network throughout its region, including medical centers in Channahon, Homer Glen, Joliet, Lemont, New Lenox, Morris, West Joliet and Wilmington.

Each facility offers a variety of services, including X-ray, mammography, physical and occupational therapy, MedWorks occupational health care, dialysis, and primary and specialty physician offices.

Silver Cross is currently adding 12 dialysis stations to its Renal Center in the Silver Cross Professional Building on the west side of Joliet. When completed in October, the hospital will operate 52 stations in three locations.
