Rahm Emanuel Wants Chicago Parkland For Obama Presidential Library

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel planned to introduce an ordinance Wednesday aimed at substantially improving the city’s chances of hosting the Obama presidential library by setting aside space for the project in one of two parks on the city’s South Side.

The park district will consider the agreement at its Feb. 11 meeting, according to the mayor’s office. City Council approval is widely expected.
