A 12,530-square-foot community arts center would be built in East Garfield Park through the sale of .6 acres of vacant City land, under a proposal introduced to City Council today by Mayor Brandon Johnson.

The $6.7 million project by Firebird Community Arts at 3312-44 W. Lake St. would provide community instruction for glass blowing, ceramics and other creative endeavors for up to 100 youth artists.

Each of the nine City lots would be sold for $1.
