This month, we would like to thank La Grange lawyer, Philip Fornaro, for his commitment to the BEDS Plus Linda Sokol Francis Summit Center. Phil's legal expertise includes working with private/municipal corporations and land development.
Phil recently said, "We enjoyed working with the BEDS team in navigating the Village of Summit zoning process and obtaining the necessary approvals that allowed the Summit project to move forward. I was very happy that we could assist and be part of a project that will result in an increase of access to health care, mental health services and shelter for vulnerable individuals that were otherwise not available."
He added, "Most importantly, I was proud to be involved with such a wonderful organization and do my part to advance the BEDS' mission and serve our community."
The Summit Center will be a place for medically vulnerable homeless adults to live with dignity while they stabilize their health and qualify for permanent housing. Most recently, there has been progress with a water service upgrade and the start of exterior tuckpointing.
We will continue providing monthly email updates regarding the progress of this much anticipated building.
