$15.6 million headed to Brookfield Zoo for repairsSunday, January 10, 2010
Chicago Sun-Times
by Associated Press BROOKFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Brookfield Zoo is to receive $15.6 million
in state money to help pay for repairs and updates to its buildings and
exhibits. Gov. Pat Quinn on Sunday announced the capital funding,
which is part of a state job creation initiative. Brookfield Zoo is
owned by the Forest Preserve District of Cook County and is managed by
the Chicago Zoological Society.
The governor’s office says the money will be used to repair the zoo’s
electrical, sanitary and structural systems, among other efforts. Quinn
says the funding will “create jobs and help ensure that one of our top
tourist attractions keeps people coming to Illinois.”
The zoo opened in the western Chicago suburb of Brookfield in 1934 and covers more than 200 acres.
