The $50 million Sankofa Wellness Village will transform vacant lots on Chicago's West Side into a village with a fitness center and health clinic, after-school care facilities, a credit union, a business incubator and pop-up groceries.
A rendering shows the Sankofa Wellness Village, a four-part project that includes a physical and mental health wellness center, a business hub, a maker space and a grocery store that will connect the corridor with new investments.
“We’re hoping to break ground on the wellness center by the end of the year and cut the ribbon for the whole village by 2025,” she added.Foundation officials envision their prize competition, launched in 2019, will do more than simply fund a scattering of projects. Each award is meant to kick off economic activity and spark interest from other investors in the chosen neighborhoods, said President Cindy Moelis.
The new credit union will help 10,000 residents open bank accounts, while hundreds of others will get job training or learn how to start new businesses. And since finding fresh, healthy food is now difficult, the collaborative will also open pop-up groceries until it can attract a permanent grocery store to West Garfield Park.
“Every single one of these applicants will be far better off,” Traubert said. “We’re going to stay involved with them until their projects are funded.”
