Going Green on Racine Project - Launch Celebration
|
|
|
What started as an impossible dream inched a step closer to reality as Englewood leaders gathered Thursday for the groundbreaking of a new fresh market, the first in a series of new developments hitting the West 63rd Street corridor.
Go Green On Racine, a team that includes the Inner-city Muslim Action Network, is one of six finalists from the South and West sides competing for the Chicago Prize, a $10 million grant from the Pritzker Traubert Foundation. Contestants were tasked with creating a development that would reenergize a long-neglected commercial corridor while improving the safety and well-being of their community.
