Some neighbors said they're sick of the noisy helicopters flying near their neighborhood.

The forum will allow locals to meet with the staff, tour the heliport and discuss concerns.

Despite initial concerns over noise and safety, some residents aren't bothered by the new business.

Residents are invited to a “mostly symbolic” meeting addressing the controversial heliport.

Testimony at a zoning hearing indicates many businesses back the proposal.

Chicago Helicopter Express wants to launch from 24th and Halsted streets.

A city panel is expected to discuss the proposed facility at 24th and Halsted streets on Thursday.

Many residents at a Pilsen community meeting asked for more time to get more information on the project.

Backers said the project would boost the local economy, but some neighbors aren't sold on the plan.

The firm hoping to open near 24th and Halsted streets set meetings for Tuesday, Wednesday.

The company CEO said the advocacy's group criticism of its proposal "reeks of conflict of interest."

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.
