A lawsuit filed in federal court Thursday claims the Chicago Housing Authority’s deal to lease land to the Chicago Fire soccer club to build an $80 million training center on the Near West Side did not go through proper review procedures.
The lawsuit claims CHA’s application and its approval by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development were completed in violation of its own rules and procedures because the federal agency failed to conduct a civil rights review.
"The plan was rushed through a prior administration in an election year when the incoming Chicago mayor, The 53,000-square-foot facility will include 21⁄2 hybrid grass pitches with a hydronic heating system; three synthetic turf pitches protected by an insulated dome between November and March; and a two-story performance center.
A spokesman for the mayor didn’t immediately return messages seeking comment. Neither did a representative for the CHA. A spokesman for the Chicago Fire declined to comment.
