Webster Square changes brokered by Mayor Emanuel

That, in brief, was the history and status of the development until today when Mayor Emanuel, in an account confirmed by 43rd Ward Alderman Michele Smith, stated that a deal had been brokered to significantly change the office and residential composition of the development and delivery access to the new grocery store to be developed on the site.
