It's been a long time since we broke the news that the owners of the famous Double Door were seeking to reopen at 1050 W. Wilson.
There have been significant steps forward along the way, the most significant of which was the City approving plans for restoration of the historic structure and giving the green light to build in January of this year.
Financing such a large build has been a bit tricky, but this evening the Double Door was brought much closer to reality, as it was announced that the City has contributed $5,000,000 to the project as part of the Community Development Grant initiative.
And in more great news, another development grant is ending up in Uptown, with $1.98 million going to the Uptown Food Exchange. Stay tuned for a story on that exciting plan...
