Letter to the Editor: Stand up against proposed Evanston building

Dear Editor,

A developer is applying for a three-year extension of a Special Use Permit that would enable them to construct a 385 foot tall residential structure at 708 Church Street, in the heart of downtown Evanston. The Tower would be the tallest building in Evanston, replacing a professional building that serves as the long-time offices of almost 125 social workers, therapists, nurse practitioners and physicians. We think the structure is nonconforming in height and design, will displace business, destroy jobs and will offer no net benefits to the community at large. If you would like to preserve Evanston and see representative democracy in action, come to the City Council meeting at the Morton Civic Center on Monday, November 25 at 7PM. Decide for yourself. It’s your city, for as long as you live here.

Lawrence Weinberg
Evanston resident
