MORE GREAT NEWS...Coonley Expansion is Next!
My office recently committed TIF funding for a Coonley Elementary School expansion. This expansion is estimated to be a $10 - 13 million project. The project will be 100% TIF funded and we have received commitments from CPS leadership that the expansion will take place in order to support the growing needs of all the programs at Coonley. We will be working closely with the Mayor's office, CPS, Principal Zurawski, the Coonley community, and our GROW 47 Chairs to get Coonley added to the CPS Capital Plan. In the coming months we will develop a time-frame for this expansion so this great neighborhood school can continue to serve the needs of all its families. Finally, we would like to extend an enormous thank you to Principal Greg Zurawski for his tireless advocacy on behalf of Coonley School.
