BAC Update


Mayor Rahm Emanuel headed to the far Southwest Side last month to announce a deal to help bail out the financially struggling Beverly Arts Center.

The city will kick in $250,000 in leftover money from the 2012 NATO summit toward the arts center's debt. Fifth Third Bank, which has city business, will wipe off the books up to $2.2 million in loans.

The BAC was built in 2002 at a cost of $12,000,000. Unfortunately, whoever put that deal together forgot a detail. How to service the debt. That problem seems to have been properly addressed now.

    People in the neighborhood are struggling in this economy. They need decent jobs before they need art.
