In a surprising move, a federal judge ruled Tuesday that the city of Chicago was within its authority when it approved the Obama Foundation’s plan to construct the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park.
After listening to nearly an hour of arguments on both sides, U.S. Judge John Robert Blakey said the construction to the sprawling Obama Center campus can begin and dismissed the lawsuit filed by environmentalists that aimed to halt it.
Technically, the foundation still has to finish a federal review process before it can break ground on the $500 million development. But Tuesday’s decision removed one major hurdle.
“The facts are clear in this case and the law is more settled than the parties are suggesting,” Blakey said from the bench.
“Everyone’s had their day in court. … There’s been no rush to judgment,” he said before declaring there should be “no delay in construction. This case is dismissed.”
