Rep. Quigley Responds to Wrigley Plans as Neighbor, Cubs Fan
North Side Representative Mike Quigley gives his two cents on the Wrigley Field renovation plan as someone who's lived in the neighborhood for more than 30 years.
U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement regarding the agreement reached for the $500 million renovation of Wrigley Field:
"As someone who has lived in the neighborhood for 32 years, I believe this deal provides the framework to keep Wrigley Field around for another hundred years as the most beautiful ballpark in baseball, while laying the foundation for a World Series win.
"The framework will have a lasting positive effect in the Lakeview community, promoting economic growth and creating jobs both in the short and long term, while addressing neighborhood concerns of public safety and traffic.
