The playground facilities at Jose de Diego Community Academy in West Town will be improved through $1.4 million in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance approved by City Council today.

The Chicago Public Schools project at 2301 W. Potomac Ave. will upgrade the facility’s playground equipment and replace asphalt with rubberized surfaces. It will also install drainage infrastructure and a stormwater detention system.

The project will be entirely funded via TIF.
