HUD Ends Fight with City over Evergreen Terrace Condemnation
“The proposed settlement, which must be approved by a judge, will allow federal community development grant money to be restored to the city.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has agreed to settle its lawsuits with Joliet and is ending its opposition to the city’s eminent domain case to purchase the Evergreen Terrace Apartments.
In a deal hammered out over several months this summer, HUD has promised to restore the city’s annual $1.5 million Community Development and Block Grant funding and will reinstate the $4 million in grant money that’s been withheld for the last two years, City Attorney Jeff Plyman told the Joliet City Council Monday.”
