Reevaluating Chicago's Industrial Corridors
Clip: 6/12/2016 | 4m 52sVideo has Closed Captions
All eyes are on the North Branch industrial corridor, once home to Finkl Steel.
Manufacturing in Chicago isn't what it once was. Many of the old factories that long produced everything from steel to candy have left the city or downsized. But now one of Chicago's major manufacturing districts could form the template for the transformation of others throughout the city. Just what this industrial corridor should or should not include is the subject of debate.
