The Fox River Story: Sustainable Asset

Welcome to the sixth episode of The Fox River Story, a Season Two collaboration with Friends of the Fox River.

Tia Aagesen and her husband TJ (who is the big sexy voice of Wally the Watchman) host today's show. This sixth episode of The Fox River Story focuses on how the Fox River is being utilized as a community asset that generates economic development opportunities for communities throughout the watershed.

Tia's first interview is with Karen Ann Miller, who is an Executive Planner for the Kane County Development Department. Karen talks about the recent designation of the Fabulous Fox Water Trail as part of the National Water Trails System. For more information, check out the trail's website by CLICKING HERE.

Tia's second interview is with the always amazing Kerry Kelly, who wears so many different hats in the Elgin community. However, on this episode, Kerry spends time bringing Tia up to speed on the North Grove Redevelopment Project and something called Riverlife Elgin.
