Harley Clarke Update

Submitted by Deb Weixl on Wed, 06/06/2018 - 07:44

The City Council voted last month to reject the lease with the Evanston Lakehouse and Gardens non profit group.Since then, a proposal has been brought forward to demolish the mansion. A vote on that will be taken by Council on June 18.

Residents on all sides of the issue have been vocal.

CSNA has been firm in its support for the Lakehouse proposal and opposed to demolition of this landmark.
