Construction of the $500 million Obama Presidential Center will have an “adverse impact” on historic Jackson Park that must be mitigated, a federal review has concluded.
In a report triggered by Jackson Park’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the Federal Highway Administration homed in on the negative impact the four-building complex would have on the majestic Midway Plaisance and the Jackson Park Historic Landscape District.
The project would diminish the “the historic property’s overall integrity by altering historic, internal spatial divisions that were designed as a single entity” by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, the FHA concluded.

It’d be rat infested from the get go.
This might be a fun headline to play around with:
0bama [FILL IN THE BLANK] would have ‘adverse impact’ on [FILL IN THE BLANK].
Yeah, a 23 story building would tend to be an eyesore in a public park.
I’m thinking “Move it to Baltimore”.
But then, Baltimore’s bad enough as it is.
Chicago PING!
The Kenyanesian Usurper deserves no monument to himself.
The park is adversely impacted by being situated in Chicago.
History will bow to The One. He came to forever change things. Stalinists di.
Anywhere they put it, it’s going to be the turd in the punch bowl.
,,,diminish the property’s integrity. Should have stopped right there.
This Jackson Park monstrosity is nothing less than a temple, a shrine glorifying Dear Leader. It matters not that it is destroying an historic neighborhood and popular green-space. The Temple Must Be Built!
23 stories of crapola from Obama’s error?
Will his college transcipts be housed there?
His original birth certificate that he mentioned in his book finding in his attic?
I don’t get it. If there is already an Obama Presidential Library (where?) then why do they need an Obama Presidential CENTER? And what would be its purpose.
Obunghole had an adverse impact on this country.
So what stopped you from ripping this off and monetizing it?
Isn't that what you do these days?
This is not the Obama presidential library? So then this dude gets two major honorary facilities???
Are we taxpayers on the hook for any of this?
I have to laugh, at the thought of this Obama shrine causing issues with environmental impact and all that. It’s for Obama, who is an icon in the liberals who complain about environmental impacts.
Only black families go there. During the day its ok. At night you better be in a police car. There is no money made at Jackson park. Tourists don’t go there. The museum of Science and Industry is the only thing people go to. And they park underground and stay inside the whole time.
no, they are saying they want to soak the taxpayers for even more money... mitigation is latin for fork it over.
