Proposed health care campus for Emmet site opposed by some residents

The bid process for the CPS property that has sit vacant for four years sparked intense criticism at a community meeting last week.

Developers have expressed interest in acquiring two of Austin’s four shuttered buildings, says Ald. Chris Taliaferro.

The Chicago Board of Education is expected to approve the district’s 2013-2013 spending plan at its monthly meeting tomorrow.

Some question whether the right streets were chosen and if there was enough community input.

A closing ceremony will be held Tuesday, June 18th at the school, one of four in Austin being shuttered by CPS this month.
