Construction at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago has been temporarily halted after a noose was discovered at the worksite Thursday morning.

Lakeside Alliance, the construction company building the $830 million center, said it immediately notified police after the noose was reported on the premises, located in Jackson Park.

The company told The Post in a statement that it suspended “all operations onsite” in order to provide its employees with an additional series of anti bias training, citing a “zero tolerance” policy “for any form of bias or hate on our worksite.”

The company additionally said it was offering a $100,000 reward to find the culprit.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker also condemned the act.

“Hate has no place in Illinois,” he said in a social media post. “The noose is more than a symbol of racism, it is a heart-stopping reminder of the violence and terror inflicted on Black Americans for centuries.”

There’s been plenty of opposition to this project - hey, just throw a noose on the grounds every couple of weeks and it will never get built.

South Side Chicago is surely majority black and very heavily Democrat.

No noose is good noose.

All I can say is “Bwa-ha-ha” - if that’s all it takes to stop a snowflake, I’m going to work on my knot skills. I’ll put them up everywhere.

Obviously, it was Mrs. White in the Library with the rope.

Union jobs. They'll shut down for anything.
