Regarding today’s 7-13-18 report in Crains Chicago:
When I took office I pledged to do everything in my power to facilitate a relocation or shutdown of General Iron.
Today marks the beginning of the final phase of these efforts.
However, I will not be satisfied with a drawn-out relocation process. With the North Branch modernization and environmental issues in mind, this transition should be expedited to accommodate for the future of the area.
I will continue my push to ensure that long-awaited improvements to this community are delivered safely and swiftly.
Brian Hopkins
Alderman, 2nd Ward
