Four years after the demolition of the Ryerson Steel Plant and major infastructure improvements, the Chatham Market retail development stands nearly empty. Our community is left in the dark as it hopes for a vibrant retail source that offers affordable shopping and jobs.
- A dozen smaller retailers wait on the sidelines for a Wal-Mart Supercenter to be approved
- $9 million in city street and infastructure improvements paid for by the developer remain underutilized
- Nearly $500 million per year (credit card and check purchases only) is spent by Chicago residents in Wal-Mart stores located in the surrounding suburbs - representing $5 million in lost city sales tax revenue.
It's OUR CHOICE. NOT THEIRS.
Our Alderman will be voting on the Chatham Market Wal-Mart on Wednesday, July 29th.
Make sure they vote for YOU.
