| The waterfront-redevelopment revolution that helped transform such big-city downtowns as Chicago, San Antonio, and Baltimore during the last three decades is now an economic development idea trickling out to the suburbs and even the smallest towns in the Chicago area. The tiny city of McHenry is trying to raise $8.8 million for an almost mile-long riverwalk along its stretch of the Fox River to lure people and businesses to the downtown area. McHenry's downstream neighbors, Algonquin and Elgin, broke ground in recent months on their own downtown riverfront projects. And in Aurora, city leaders eyed neighboring Naperville's riverwalk success and embarked upon plans for a $40 million, two-level riverwalk project. |
