In February, it was announced that the groundbreaking for the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park could start as early as August of 2021. The project is moving forward after a four-year federal review and other delays, including concerns by activists that the center would displace south side residents. The center is expected to generate 700,000 annual visitors and more than $3 billion in economic development.
