Dear friend,
Earlier today, the City of Chicago announced that it is beginning its pre-construction work on Jackson Park, getting it ready for the Obama Presidential Center’s official groundbreaking later this fall. This officially kicks off our Road to Groundbreaking, a celebration of Chicago and everyone who is helping bring the Obama Presidential Center to Jackson Park. |
|
As we begin this celebration, I want to acknowledge that getting to this point would not have been possible without the leadership of Mayor Lightfoot, the City of Chicago, and the many community voices—residents, organizers, and leaders from every sector—who have been involved in the process along the way and are helping bring a historic investment to the South Side.
So many Chicagoans and supporters like you have invested your time and energy in this process. Thank you.
Along the Road to Groundbreaking, we’ll continue to share exciting updates, including special Obama Presidential Center first looks and ways you can participate. We hope you’ll join us!
Here we go,
—Mike
