Why the Chicagoland Chamber believes the city needs more mega-developments
Description
Fresh off the bruising fight over the Lincoln Yards and the 78 mega-developments, the Chicagoland Chamber is throwing its weight behind another proposal that has the potential to reshape a wide swath of the city. It’s called One Central, and could add 20,000 square feet of new development and a shiny new transportation hub to the South Loop. Developers say it would add billions to the city’s coffers and thousands of jobs – without the use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF). On this episode of The Daily Line’s Aldercast, Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce President and Chief Executive Officer Jack Lavin talks about the city’s growth, his decades in city and state politics, and his hopes for Mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot’s administration.
