That's consistent with most projects on the MDN. Unless the station is on Metra property (Lake-Cook), the municipality has to pay for it, but has to use Metra contractors.

The bigger imponderables noted in the article is how Niles is going to redevelop a currently industrial area (another vacated Granger noted) and how far north of Touhy it will have to be not to block it (Metra trains wail through there now).
