Transportation and Logistics Market in Chicago, IL

Chicago's manufacturing and marketing sectors, encouraged by the expansion of the railway throughout the Middle Midwest and the East, grew rapidly and began to dominate the Midwest and had a profound impact on the national economy. The Chicago Union Stock Yards dominate the packaging trade. Chicago became the world's largest railway station, and it became one of its busiest ports in the Great Sea. Material resources, such as timber, iron and coal, have been brought to Chicago and Ohio for processing, where products are exported to the East and West to support new growth.

Lake Michigan - the city's main source of fresh water - is polluted by rapidly growing industries in and around Chicago; a new method of obtaining clean water was needed. In 1885 construction engineer Lyman Edgar Cooley proposed the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. He envisioned a deep waterway that would reduce and divert city sewage by supplying water from Lake Michigan to a canal, which would run into the Mississippi River through the Illinois River. In addition to introducing a solution to the sanitation problem in Chicago, Cooley's proposal called for the economic need to link the Midwest with the central American roads to compete with the Eastern shipping and rail industry.
