Open Space Impact Fee Funding Approved for Logan Square Garden Project
Decorative fencing and a performance pavilion will be added to Logan Square's planned Emil Biorn Neighborhood Garden through $66,000 in City funding approved by City Council today.
The Logan Square Preservation project at 2616 N. Albany Ave. includes walking paths, seating areas and public art that celebrates the neighborhood's immigrant communities.
The property was donated by longtime Logan Square resident Phil Hehn and once served as the residence of Emil Biorn, a Norwegian immigrant, artist and musician.
The funding is being made available through the City's Open Space Impact Fee program, which leverages fees paid by residential construction projects to help offset the impact of new residents on a community area's public open spaces.
