Evanston weighs vacancy tax, retail incubator to combat downtown commercial vacancies – Evanston Roundtable

Good remarks Mark, those little added taxes
will certainly help this vacancy problem.
the owners of these property in the greater

They still refuse to see the fruits of their efforts.
The destruction of the cities democratic socialists
control is full speed ahead.
