Chicago’s South Side To Get Obama Library: Sources
April 30, 2015 5:13 PM

(CBS) – Indications are Chicago’s quest for the Barack Obama presidential library has succeeded.

It’s a major coup for Mayor Rahm Emanuel and, perhaps more importantly, for the South Side, CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine reports.

The final confirmation was implied in a phone call last Friday to Emanuel and state Democratic legislative leaders meeting in his office.

The Obama Presidential Library will rise either in Washington Park at King Drive and Garfield Boulevard or at the other site proposed by the University of Chicago, in Jackson Park, south of the Museum of Science and Industry, near 60th and Stony Island.

The announcement is now planned for the week after next, though it may not specify which site will be chosen.
