The City Council has approved the sale of two city-owned properties under the ChiBlock Builder Program. The property at 7630 S Blackstone Ave has been sold to Evelyn Hurde, and the property at 1316 E 73rd St has been sold to Andrea Carter. The ChiBlock Builder Program aims to revitalize neighborhoods by selling vacant city-owned land to private owners for development, fostering local investment and economic growth.
These sales are important as they promote community-driven development, transferring vacant land to local residents for productive use. The program helps prevent blight and encourages neighborhood revitalization, contributing to economic growth in the area.
