City to purchase former Marine Corps facility for use as migrant shelter – CBS2 (Chicago)

Aldermen voted to use $1.5 million in tax increment financing to buy a 10.7-acre property along the North Branch of the Chicago RIver, from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. Once the city makes repairs to the building's heating and air conditioning systems, the city plans to house up to about 550 migrants there as soon as next month.

And there goes the neighborhood.

(It used to be a nice neighborhood, when I was growing up, but I don’t know what it’s like now. One thing’s for sure, it’s going to get worse.)
