Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Tuesday basked in the glow of an O’Hare Airport modernization project she helped to shape, but did not conceive, with the opening of the new 10-gate extension of the international flight hub better known as Terminal 5.
“Thank you to all the city leaders, airline partners and, of course, the men and women who designed and built this incredible structure. I am really in awe. It is stunning and beautiful,” Lightfoot said.
