The Chicago Housing Authority has announced that it will demolish 10 vacant highrises during the next few months and revitalize three other developments in the next year as part of its overhaul of public housing. Eight highrises in the Robert Taylor Homes between 43rd and 52nd will be torn down, as well as one in Stateway Gardens and one in the Henry Horner Homes. All of the buildings slated for demolition are currently vacant. The money will be used to upgrade support services and surrounding communities for residents.
Plans call for construction of new affordable, market-rate and public housing units.
