URGENT
SAVE SAINT BONIFACE
THIS IS IT!!!
On April 13th at 1:00 PM there will be an open public meeting held by the City of Chicago, Community Development Council (CDC).
At this meeting the CDC will be reviewing the proposed acquisition of Byrd School at 363 W. Hill St. and its sublease to the Archdiocese of Chicago. This transaction is part of the swap and a crucial step that would pave the way to a reuse for St. Boniface Church.
The above proposal must pass at Tuesday’s meeting in order to go to the City Council for final approval.
If the proposal passes City Council, the City would then purchase Saint Boniface from the Archdiocese and then sell it to the developer, Institutional Project Management (IPM) for its preservation and reincorporation into an independent living development. (click the picture below this update to see IPM’s plans)
What can you do? … IMPORTANT
Please attend Tuesday’s meeting to show support for this project.
The long hard struggle to Save Saint Boniface has come down to this vote. Please make every effort to attend this crucial meeting as a large show of support will encourage the CDC to approve the proposal and move toward a reuse for Saint Bonfiace church.
