East Hyde Park Development Under Urban Renewal Plan
The area east of the Illinois Central tracks in Hyde Park shows distinct urban and social differences and faces challenges for renewal. Demolition touched the area lightly with HR-2 site plans for a condo and townhomes while several parking and institutional sites change use. Rehabilitation efforts hinge on owner behavior and financing, with FHA Section 220 funds aiding large properties and condo conversions attracting families with children.
