CAPCC on the 6th Ward montly meeting Thursday night

That post tackles a number of subjects covered at that meeting, but I want to focus on the property at 7801 S. Cottage Grove:
The property known as 7801 South Cottage Grove was discussed with the interested party of the Nation of Islam with Ron Garner as architech seeking a needed $3.5 million in rehab funding to rejuvenate the building.
Does this mean that there are now three interested parties who have proposals for this property? In addition to the Leaks and Bren Sheriff?

  1. Yes, that's correct. i'll try to post more detail laer, but the quick summary is that The Nation of Islam were the original owners of the building. After Elijah Muhammad died, there was a lot of litigation, and ownership ound up in the hands of a lawyer. Now the nation wants it back, and wants to raise funds to make it commercial as well as offices for community services as well.


    I will also try to post a more detailed blog entry regarding the library,
