Chicago panel to vote on purchase of former Jewel site for migrant shelter
CHICAGO -- A City Council committee on Monday approved Mayor Brandon Johnson's request to purchase a vacant Jewel store and parking lot near 115th and Halsted streets to use as a shelter for migrants.The Committee on Housing and Real Estate backed a proposal to have the city purchase the 6.5-acre site from Jewel parent company Albertson's for $1.
The proposal to purchase the site for a migrant shelter would still leave the door open for that development after the site is no longer needed as a migrant camp.Mosley is demanding a 'full commitment' from the Johnson administration to break ground on the Morgan Park Commons next year.'The 21st Ward will not tolerate the prioritization of a crisis over our needs and voices!'
