The team plans to build a two-story performance center but legal aid groups still question the use of the land for something besides housing.
An artist's rendering shows the plan for a new Chicago Fire soccer club training facility on a former Chicago Housing Authority site.
The team will build a 53,000-square-foot, two-story performance center with multiple soccer pitches in Roosevelt Square on the site of CHA’s former ABLA Homes housing complex in the 28th Ward.The groundbreaking comes after months of controversy surrounding the development, with the City Council initially blocking the deal and thenand with housing advocates expressing their disapproval of CHA land being used for nonhousing purposes.
Representatives from the Lugenia Burns Hope Center in Bronzeville, one of the coalition members, will meet with Democratic Reps. Maxine Waters and Ted Lieu in Washington, D.C., this week “to rein in CHA and HUD from continuing to privatize CHA land,” according to Rod Wilson, executive director of the Hope Center, and a statement from his organization.
The groundbreaking was celebrated by Ald. Jason Ervin of the 28th Ward, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Chicago Housing Authority CEO Tracey Scott, Chicago Fire FC Owner and Chairman Joe Mansueto and public housing residents and other community members at a news conference at the Jane Addams Family Resource Center on the Near West Side. Many attendees were sporting red scarves emblazoned with “ABLA” and the Chicago Fire logo.
