PLACE Dialogue Preview • Meegan Czop (Great Lakes Yard)
Description
“If there was the magical funding, the thing that I would like to see done is to set up a materials processing facility in Chicago, most notably on the west or south side where it could provide some jobs. … the biggest hold up in the reuse industry when connected to the building and demolition industry is ‘time is money.’” - Meegan Czop (Owner + Creator, Great Lakes Yard).
