The Carole Robertson Center for Learning's planned renovation of its South Lawndale childhood education facility will be supported through a $1.1 million Neighborhood Opportunity Fund (NOF) grant approved by City Council today.
The $11.9 million project will modernize the nonprofit's 37,000-square-foot flagship location at 2929 W. 19th St., which services more than 500 children and families from the area every year.
NOF grants are funded by fees paid by downtown construction projects in support of commercial corridor investment on the South, Southwest and West sides. Grant awards exceeding $250,000 require City Council approval.
