Homewood Zoner Protests Washington Park Plan
William F. Mahar Jr a member of Homewood's zone board of appeals sparked a heated session questioning planners and the ownership motives behind the Washington Park site plan. He cited the 1972 annexation negotiations with Chicago Thoroughbred Enterprises now under Madison Square Garden, arguing the project should remain light manufacturing with no residential development. MSG officials contended changes since 1972 and a new land plan are needed, with a public hearing set for August 16 to review revisions and respond to the Homewood commission's requests.
