The Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge project, located in Illinois, will work to repair significant infrastructure damage, including leaking waterlines and sewer lines and damaged concrete on three high-hazard dams. The project will also support modern facilities for visitors by replacing an aging visitor center, and rehabilitating campground facilities and related outdoor recreation infrastructure. Other projects within the portfolio include rehabilitating the Veterans Haven building and outdoor shower buildings, repairing campground roads, and reshaping campsites. 

Estimated Project Budget: $24,929,000
