At Woodlawn summit, City talks grants and development, riding ‘Obama Center’s coattails’ – Hyde Park Herald

“We want Woodlawn to have all the services and amenities you would expect in a healthy neighborhood,”  said Department of Planning and Development Commissioner Maurice Cox, a panelist. “Culture, recreation, health care, public transit, retailers, restaurants… We’re excited to be able to ride the [OPC’s] coattails.” He described a  “charm bracelet” approach by city planners to draw tourists from the OPC westward, deeper into the Woodlawn community.
