$5.4 Million Development for Austin - National Small Business Week - Upcoming Events & Promotions - Pix of Business & Community Expo
$5.4M Factory/Warehouse Project
Planned for Austin Neighborhood

The Chicago City Council approved the sale  of a vacant 3.4-acre site at 825 S. Kilpatrick Avenue to the Will Group, for construction of a 60,000-square-foot industrial building. The
$5.4 million project is expected to support, retain, and create 48 permanent jobs in addition to 60 construction jobs.  

The Will Group - an African-American-owned  electrical equipment manufacturer and service provider - will relocate from two smaller facilities it currently leases. The company operates multiple subsidiary firms including Electrical Resource Management, Lyons View Manufacturing and Supply, TWIG Technologies, and Lighting Solutions of Illinois Inc.
The above property was listed on Derelict.com  - Although the City or County would prefer not to be in the real estate business, there are numerous reasons they might hold title to land or buildings - among them tax liens, utility foreclosures or abandonment. These properties commonly require work, assessments or judgments must be cleared, and there could also be additional restrictions or requirements.  Click for the website .
