pipedreams Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 What a deal. "The foundation behind the planned Obama Presidential Center in Chicago has a tentative agreement with the city to pay just $10 to use 19.3 acres of city park space for 99 years, according to a report. " http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/09/19/obama-foundation-deal-with-chicago-calls-for-10-fee-on-99-year-lease.html "Jackson Park Watch co-founder Margaret Schmid said, “The idea of leasing invaluable, irreplaceable public parkland to a private entity for $10 for 99 years is astounding in this era when public lands and natural resources are under attack in so many places. Besides, Chicago’s finances are extremely precarious. Yes, this is symbolic, but symbolism is significant.”" https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/city-hall-deal-obama-center-jackson-park-99-years-10/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
