Great to see new momentum for this long-languishing site half the size of Chicago's #Loop! After all manner of #redevelopment visions had come and gone, we're excited that our city and state were able to attract such a forward-thinking #reuse. We'll be watching this transformative investment in the Far South Side take shape, and hope that community needs are met through the #planning process.
The Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park by PsiQuantum is a great example of a catalytic project that will jumpstart neighborhood improvements that existing residents can benefit from, by revitalizing an under-utilized site. I was honored to be present for the announcement yesterday and hear the support of Mayor Brandon Johnson, President Toni Preckwinkle and Governor JB Pritzker, and hope to see more of this type of innovative government collaboration for economic development. Congrats to our CAC trustees and friends Ann Thompson at Related Midwest, Kapil Khanna at Lamar Johnson Collaborative, and Clayco for their involvement in this development.
