A $5.9 million industrial building is proposed to replace seven adjacent city lots in West Garfield Park through land sales introduced to the City Council today by Mayor Brandon Johnson. Totaling 1.1 acres at 4204-32 W. Lake St., the lots would be sold to developer Lake Keeler LLC for their appraised value of $196,000.

The planned one-story, 44,000-square-foot building would include two loading docks and 30 surface parking spaces. While a tenant has not yet been identified, the facility is expected to accommodate up to 50 full-time jobs when fully leased.
