The metal shredder goes before the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals on Friday.

The city's Plan Commission deferred a proposal to overhaul vacant land near the Chicago River.

The 25th Ward alderman said the company behind the plan didn't reach out to residents.

Several Pilsen neighborhood groups say they were not given a heads-up about a potential heliport nearby.

Neighbors in Bridgeport and Pilsen say they haven't been told about the riverside helicopter launch port.

City officials say the designation will help boost the area's focus on pedestrians.

Ald. Edward Burke said he would like to limit where the drug was available to "an extreme degree."

A hearing for a company trying to open a metal shredder in Pilsen was delayed again Friday.

This is the third zoning delay for Pure Metal Recycling's plan to build a $30 million facility.

The proposal calls for a heliport, airplane hangar and a water taxi dock along the river banks.

The mayor will join the protest in solidarity with Fast for Families.

Trash and commercial vacancies remain a challenge but the area is flush with small businesses.  

Neighborhood groups and business leaders will offer their feedback on a comprehensive community plan.

Company officials said the proposed Pure Metal Recyling facility would be cleaner than others in city.

A community meeting regarding the proposed scrap metal facility will be held Wednesday.
