  • A crucial zoning change received final approval Wednesday. Some neighbors had asked to slow the process so developers could put promises around jobs into writing.

The Chicago City Council has approved plans for a new quantum technology campus on the South Side, spearheaded by the University of Chicago and the Chicago Quantum Exchange. This initiative aims to establish a hub for quantum research, education, and innovation, focusing on quantum computing, sensing, and communication technologies. The campus will be located in the Woodlawn neighborhood, transforming an area previously occupied by the old Chicago Police Department headquarters into a state-of-the-art facility. The project promises to bring economic development, job opportunities, and educational programs to the community, with significant investments in infrastructure and community engagement. The approval marks a significant step forward in positioning Chicago as a leader in quantum technology, fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and local residents.
