Thank you to the hundreds of residents who attended Alderman Dowell’s June 16th Town Hall meeting featuring Curt Bailey, President of Related Midwest, who presented a proposed development plan for “The 78”, which includes a new, fully privately-financed soccer stadium for the Chicago Fire. Please use the link below to view a video of the meeting. A copy of the presentation and a FAQ document can be found using the links provided.. Questions and comments regarding the development can be directed to Alderman Dowell’s office at Ward03@cityofchicago.org.
As Alderman Dowell mentioned during the meeting, the June 16th Town Hall was the proposed development’s initial introduction to the community. There will be extensive additional outreach to residents on this project, and nothing related to this project has been approved by the City (as of the date of the meeting). Please continue to stay in contact with Alderman Dowell’s office for updates related to the next opportunity to participate in the potential development process.
