Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl met Friday afternoon with Illinois Senator Richard Durbin in Chicago to discuss Evanston issues and ask for the Senator's support of the City's Federal Community Challenge Planning Grant to construct 67 low-income housing units on the City's westside.

This project, known as Emerson Square, would be an offshoot of the City's existing work through the $18 million NSP2 grant the City received last year.

Mayor Tisdahl reports that Senator Durbin was very interested in the project and pledged to provide his support of the application.
