Leaders lobby for Chicago locks to stay open

April 12, 2010 (CHICAGO)

The Army Corps will release a report at the end of the month on the impact of closing the Chicago locks as a way to stop the Asian carp.

Congresswoman Debbie Halvorson will present the Army Corps with hundreds of signatures from people who want the locks to remain open.

A Chicago Chamber of Commerce study found that closing the locks would cost the Chicago area economy more than $5 billion over 20 years.
