Massive underground project proposed for land below toxic site on Southeast Side

Provided Construction materials company Ozinga Bros. Inc. is proposing to build a 6 million square foot underground warehouse development on a former steel site along the Calumet River on the Southeast Side. The company wants to reuse a brownfield property just north of Reserve Management Group’s planned car-shredding facility that’s facing opposition from residents. Acknowledging community tensions over developments in the heavily industrial area, company officials recently began holding meetings with small numbers of residents to tell them about the project. “Understanding the history of this area … it’s important for us to make sure we’re being as transparent as possible,” said Alberto Rincon, director of community planning for the project planned north of 116th Street at Burley Avenue.

City tells General Iron owner that application to open on South Side is deficient

Google Maps The city asked General Iron’s owner to submit almost three dozen additional documents related to potential pollution and safety as part of its application to open a controversial car-shredding operation on the Southeast Side. In a letter dated Wednesday, the city called Reserve Management Group’s permit application “incomplete and substantially deficient” under new rules for such operations. The requests relate to an array of issues, from dust and air pollution control to stormwater discharge into the Calumet River where the facility will be located at East 116th Street. The city also is asking for details on controlling fires and explosions. Southeast Side residents have noted an explosion at General Iron’s Lincoln Park site earlier this year as well as numerous air pollution and nuisance complaints from North Side neighbors as reasons they oppose the business. They’ve said it’s not fair that a business that generated years worth of complaints from nei

City denies helping General Iron move to Southeast Side in letter to feds

Sun-Times file Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Administration denied to federal investigators that it helped General Iron’s owner relocate its car-shredding operation to the Southeast Side from Lincoln Park, despite a previous agreement to assist in the company’s “expeditious transition” to the new location. “The proposed expansion is not a relocation of General Iron’s operation at North Clifton but an entirely distinct effort undertaken by a different entity,” city lawyers wrote to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development this week. The letter, dated Tuesday, defends the city’s actions as HUD officials continue their investigation into whether the Lightfoot Administration violated Southeast Side residents’ civil rights. Advocacy groups have accused the city of helping move a polluting nuisance to a Latino-majority neighborhood to make way for a $6 billion residential and retail development in the mostly white and affluent Lincoln Park. The new facility bei

Southeast Side residents tell city they don t want General Iron

Google Southeast Side residents accused Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration of ignoring their pleas to stop a car-shredding operation set to open in their neighborhood after General Iron shuts down on the North Side. In a Thursday night public meeting held online and plagued by technical glitches, some residents said it was unfair and racist that they have to receive a polluting nuisance in an already heavily industrialized area so General Iron can leave its longtime home in Lincoln Park to make way for new development. “Lincoln Park has beautiful buildings and landscaping our landscape is this ugly industry,” said resident Mark Velez. “We don’t want these dirty businesses down here anymore.”
