Obama Presidential Center timeline moves forward after lawsuit dismissed by federal a

CHICAGO TRIBUNE | AUG 25, 2020

Quote:
A lawsuit over the planned Obama Presidential Center’s campus in Jackson Park has stalled after a federal appeals court panel ruled the plaintiffs did not suffer actual harm and that much of their grievances were not within the court’s jurisdiction.

The 7th Circuit for the U.S. Court of Appeals issued the ruling on Friday, more than two years after community group Protect Our Parks Inc. filed suit alleging the Chicago Park District and the city of Chicago improperly transferred public parkland to the Obama Foundation for private use.
Hopefully this project can finally get moving now!
