Ald. Solis Holding Community Meeting on McCaffrey Interests' Proposal to Eliminate Public Space on March 5th

For those in the community who are concerned or curious about the British School of Chicago coming to the neighborhood and preventing the promised "public space" at 9th and Financial Streets you should probably attend this meeting.  A friend of the blog sent us this:
Ald. Solis is holding a community meeting to discuss McCaffrey Interests' (the Roosevelt Collection owner) proposal to eliminate the public open space currently required by law at 9th & Financial/Wells Streets and to replace it with a private school. The meeting is on March 5th at 6PM in the St. Ignatius cafeteria, nearly 2 miles away from this area of the South Loop (and not even in the 2nd ward as it exists in 2013).
