On Monday, July 6, Alderman Mark Chambers, Jr. issued a statement that reads, in part:

“Following extensive discussions with the property owner, developer, and city staff — and after carefully considering the feedback shared during three public information sessions and the testimony presented before the City Plan Commission — the applicant has made my office aware of plans to remove the proposed computing research facility from the redevelopment of the former Midtown Center Walmart at 5825 W. Hope Ave.”

Thank you to the many residents who came forward to voice your opinions and concerns about this proposal. Together, we are powerful.
