Community meeting to review revisions to the proposed development at 1212 North State. The revised proposal features modifications to the residential floor plate, which eliminates 16 studio apartments at the north side of the building and replaces them with seven larger apartments at the top of the building. Floor-to-floor heights were reduced to keep the combined height change within six feet of the original proposal, with the top floors stepping back to further mitigate the impact of this. Alderman Hopkins is seeking your feedback on these changes. 6:00-7:30 p.m., First Saint Paul’s Lutheran Church, 1301 North LaSalle Drive. No RSVP is required. Map. More info.
