Multiple projects are moving forward at Gary/Chicago International Airport in hopes of luring back passenger service and expanding cargo operations. The airfield is located at 6001 Airport Road on the northeast edge of the neighboring city. Plans for its expansion come as Gary continues to push for the revitalization of the once industrial city.
Plans have been revealed for the redevelopment of the Gary Union Station at 251 Broadway in Gary Indiana. Sandwiched between multiple rail tracks and I-90, the relatively isolated historical building sits just north of the heart of downtown Gary whose redevelopment we recently covered. The project is being led by local preservationist group The Decay Devils and developer Digital Equity LLC who are working with an undisclosed architect.
Initial details have been revealed for a redevelopment of part of downtown Gary, Indiana centered around 1 Genesis Center Plaza. The multi-block development will demolish the long vacant convention center and repurpose multiple surface lots around it, bound by the I-90 to the north and the baseball stadium home to the Gary SouthShore RailCats. The new framework plan is being proposed by the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority, Lake County Government, the city of Gary, and other smaller public and private entities.
