A laundromat at 739 Howard Street, Evanston, could soon be the site of a new affordable housing building if Evanston City Council moves forward with a proposed purchase.
Environmental Consultant Group Project Manager Robert Johnson explained to the council the IEPA has tentatively approved the city plans and has all documentation required, beyond the additional testing requests, to issue a letter authorizing the site is safe for housing. Johnson expects a response from the IEPA as to what further steps are needed in two to three weeks.
The pollution is coming from 729 Howard Street, a property already owned by the city, and IEPA is requiring that testing be done further into the street to map the contamination and define the area of impact. The next round of testing results are expected to be completed in the coming days.
