MAYOR ANNOUNCES NAMING OF
‘HENRY J. HYDE NEIGHBORHOOD RESOURCE CENTER’
Mayor Larry Hartwig Monday announced that a Resource Center in the Michael Lane area will be named the “Henry J. Hyde Neighborhood Resource Center” when it is completed next year.
Mayor Hartwig made the announcement during the Groundbreaking Ceremony at 199 Michael Lane, just a few doors down from where the center has been operating out of a rental apartment, providing social services and information to residents.
The ceremony was attended by State Senator Peter Roskam, attending on behalf of Congressman Henry Hyde who secured more than $600,000 in federal money to help in construction of the $1.2 million facility.
The new center will continue to be staffed and operated by the Addison Police Department. It will also house the Addison Community Switchboard, the local food pantry.
