Ald. Ramirez says more community input needed on migrant tents in Brighton Park
Ald. Ramirez calls for more transparency from the city regarding plans for a winterized basecamp to house migrants in Brighton Park.
The city of Chicago is eyeing a vacant lot in Brighton Park to serve as a winterized base camp to house migrants. Last week, Ald. Julia Ramirez of the 12th Ward went to a protest outside of the site to hear resident’s concerns and it turned violent. The alderwoman is calling on the mayor for more transparency and community engagement to creatively meet the challenge of welcoming new arrivals.
Reset hears from the alderwoman about getting more feedback ahead of a community hearing on Tuesday, October 24, from 6-7:30 at Kelly High School in Brighton Park.
