An indoor cannabis farm plans to open near Pullman on the South Side, but who will operate the business has yet to be decided.
The 14,000-square-foot facility, located at 1050 E. 95th St. in the Burnside neighborhood just north of Pullman, would be developed by DL3 Realty. The zoning change it needs to open was approved by the Committee on Zoning Thursday.
Ald. Michelle Harris (8th) deferred the measure last month to allow for more community input. Harris was not present on Thursday but has said she supports the project.
The proposal will next head to the full City Council Wednesday for approval. Leon Walker, who leads DL3 Realty, is seeking a social-equity applicant to operate the indoor cannabis farm. He did not say if he has a specific tenant lined up for the space.
Acosta said DL3 is searching for a Black-led group who could apply for a craft grow license from the state to operate at the facility.
