City of Chicago Statement on Proposed Demolition of the Damen Ave Silos

Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

“The proposed demolition of the Damen Ave Silos will require a United States Army Corps of Engineers permit, including a federal review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Consequently, the City of Chicago will defer its decision on the demolition application pending the outcome of the federal permitting and NEPA review process and related community engagement, which may involve or raise environmental issues and mitigation measures relevant to the City's review.”
