The city’s year-long endeavor to overhaul the strict manufacturing boundaries of the North Branch Industrial Corridor faces its first legislative hurdle Thursday in a Plan Commission vote.

Plan Commissioners will also be greeted this morning by a neighborhood group in Jefferson Park that has been vocal in its opposition to an item not on today’s agenda.

At 10 am, members of Northwest Side Unite plan to hold a press conference where they plan to hand out copies of a petition that’s received more than 5,000 signatures against the rezone for 5150 N. Northwest Highway.
