Comments on: Industrial Strength: Chicago’s worst polluter moves south to Burnside http://chicagoweekly.net/2009/01/15/industrial-strength-chicagos-worst-polluter-moves-south-to-burnside/ All Sides of the South Side Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:49:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mirtha Williams http://chicagoweekly.net/2009/01/15/industrial-strength-chicagos-worst-polluter-moves-south-to-burnside/comment-page-1/#comment-35224 Mirtha Williams Thu, 25 Aug 2011 04:16:09 +0000 http://chicagoweekly.net/?p=725#comment-35224 If A Finkl & Sons Steel will pose a health risk for the Burnside residents, I think it should stay in Lincoln Park. Why would any African American be proud to see a company come into an economically depressed neighborhood that pose health threats to its existing residents? Money will not help you if you are in poor health and eventually end up not being able to work. We need to work, but we also need be in good health. Bringing a poluter to Burnside is not what this neighborhood needs. If A Finkl & Sons Steel will pose a health risk for the Burnside residents, I think it should stay in Lincoln Park.

Perhaps this is why or economy is in such a mess. Foundries / Metal Casting is a industry as old as man, and to chase a company out of Lincoln Park, because the area has gentrified is a wrong. If you don't like living by the plant then move they were there first. Over the years they have provided thousands of jobs and tax revenues for the city.

I always thought they were a prime example of how industry and urbanites can live and work together. I hope they have as much success in Burnside (ironic name) as they have had in Lincoln Park. I wonder if General Iron will continue to stay as well? I am a Lincoln Park resident and I am going to be really sad to see Finkl Steel leave.
