In an attempt to revive a stretch of vacant land in the Roseland neighborhood and ignite development in that community, the city’s Department of Planning and Development would acquire 13 acres of property under a plan green-lighted Tuesday by the Community Development Commission.
The property in question is parcels at 11420 S. Halsted St., 11400 S. Green St., and 830 West 115th St. Part of the property is currently owned by Jewel-Osco, and part is a foreclosed upon bank-owned property, according to Edward Lewis, of the Department of Planning and Development.
