PULLMAN NATIONAL MONUMENT GRAND OPENING

THIS EDA INVESTMENT SUPPORTS THE HISTORIC PULLMAN FOUNDATION, INC. WITH RENOVATING AND UPGRADING THE HISTORIC PULLMAN NATIONAL MONUMENT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AND RESULTING DROP IN TRAVEL AND TOURISM REVENUE, DEVASTATED THE REGION'S TOURISM ECONOMY AND LEFT THE HISTORIC PULLMAN FOUNDATION WITH THE NEED TO UPGRADE ITS FACILITIES TO RECOVER AND BECOME MORE RESILIENT IN THE FACE OF FUTURE DISASTERS. THE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE UPGRADES TO CURRENT EXHIBITS AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTION OF NEW EXHIBITS. IN ADDITION, THE PROJECT WILL HELP WITH THE PULLMAN RAILROAD DAYS EVENT AND ASSOCIATED MEDIA OUTREACH. THE ADDITIONAL VISITORS THE FOUNDATION EXPECTS TO ATTTRACT WILL HELP DRIVE FUTURE ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE REGION AND ALLOW THE FOUNDATION TO CAPITALIZE ON IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED IN THE SUMMER OF 2020 DURING PANDEMIC-RELATED CLOSURES. ONCE COMPLETED, THE PROJECT WILL HELP STRENGTHEN TOURISM RECOVERY FROM THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC IN THE AREA, WHICH WILL HELP RESTORE AND RETAIN EXISTING JOBS TO BUILD RESILIENCY TO WITHSTAND FUTURE ECONOMIC DISRUPTIONS.
