A $3.7 million senior center would be built in North Lawndale through a proposal introduced today to City Council by Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

The proposal would amend the deed on formerly City-owned land at 3739 W. Ogden Ave. currently being used as a parking lot. The amendment would enable the lot owner, Lawndale Christian Health Center, to construction the 20,000-square-foot senior facility on the site, including a kitchen, dining room, physical therapy room, game room, exercise room, library, health clinic space and offices.

Founded in 1984, the Lawndale Christian Health Center is a community-based nonprofit organization that provides primary care services to residents of Chicago’s West Side.
