The city of Gary has released its official bid to become the new home of the Chicago Bears. Revealed earlier this week, the city, along with state legislators, have brought forth plans for the team to relocate just over the border as Illinois softens its stance on paying for the team’s infrastructure should they stay in the state.
Plans have been approved for a new community-focused recreation center at 3901 West Cermak Road, on the border between Little Village and Lawndale. The proposal, dubbed the One Lawndale Recreation Center, will replace a former CTA storage yard just east of the intersection with South Pulaski Road.
The Chicago City Council has approved the upcoming DePaul University Athletics building at 2300 North Sheffield Avenue in Lincoln Park. The proposal was introduced over a year ago and has undergone several aesthetic iterations since then. It also received Plan Commission approval approximately one month ago.
The Chicago Plan Commission has approved DePaul University’s new athletics building at 2300 North Sheffield Avenue in Lincoln Park. Located at the intersection with West Belden Avenue, the project has been in the works for over a year and has come under scrutiny due to its replacing a handful of vintage housing structures occupied mostly by students.
New details have been revealed about the potential Chicago Bears stadium at 2200 Euclid Avenue in Arlington Heights. The plans mark the latest chapter in the team’s multi-year struggle to secure a new home while seeking tax funds from the city, county, and state. The effort is being led by the team in partnership with design firm Manica Architecture.
