South West Hyde Park Redevelopment Corp Seeks Dismissal of Complaint
The South West Hyde Park Neighborhood Redevelopment Corporation asks Circuit Court to dismiss a complaint filed by 20 property owners opposing its plan. The firm argues the complainants are not owners of property to be acquired and thus cannot object to the commission's plan approval, also citing unpaid transcript fees and other objections. The residents counter that objections by owners of affected property may suspend corporate operations, continuing to press for a hearing.
