Another year or so before Obama Center breaks ground in Chicago
|
 The fight to stop or modify the proposed Obama Center in South Chicago is still going on.
The fight (ironically the anti Center protagonists are community organizers) is centered on two federal requirements. One involves compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the various regulations, court rulings, memos, etc. that go with it. The second involves compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the regulations, etc.
The Chicago City planning department has the lead on compliance with these requirement. The department currently estimates the end of the NHPA compliance process by the fall of this year and end of the NEPA process by the spring of 2020 (typically, sponsors of projects underestimate the time required for both the NHPA and NEPA processes.
There will almost certainly be a required modification of current plans and that will delay construction for at least a few months after the end of the NEPA process.
