Members of the Little Village community held a gathering Monday to mark the two-year anniversary of the botched demolition by Hilco Redevelopment Partners of a nearly 400-foot smokestack that blanketed the community in a thick plume of dirt and dust.
“That day really marked and scarred many of our residents; many still have deep public health concerns,” said Edith Tovar, a community organizer with the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization.
