Much of the work of the Taskforce On Waukegan Neighborhoods
involves researching the issues that affect everybody's quality of life
in our town. As we complete these projects, we make the reports available
here so that you can make informed decisions and take action.
Sometimes the actions may involve contacting public officials,
so we have assembled a Resources section that contains all of the information
we have about contacting them - you can go there by clicking the Resources
button at the top of this page.
Our latest report is the result of hundreds of hours spent
analyzing the public data collected about the progress of the Genesee
Theatre construction project provided by the City of Waukegan. Our report
is a call to action, to make better known the issues that cry out for
answers, and call upon the city to address those issues...
A Note to the Readers of the TOWN Report
on the Genesee Theatre Renovation Project
We in TOWN are as excited as anyone in Waukegan about the Grand opening of the new Genesee Theatre, scheduled for December 3, 2004.
May Bill Cosby be merely the first of many world-class performers to grace the stage, and may a successful theatre
become the engine to drive the redevelopment of our entire downtown.
But we in TOWN, like many other Waukegan citizens, are also disturbed about the painful process by which the new
Genesee Theatre was belatedly born.
This report has nothing to do with the theatre's future success.
It has everything to do with the way that city business has been conducted.
We invite you to read and ponder, and we welcome your comments.
