From a recent tweet by CFD Media:
"Commissioner Annette Nance-Holt was joined by Chicago's Mayor Lori Lightfoot along with numerous partners and stakeholders for the official opening of the Bauer Plummer Public Safety Training Center. This innovative facility serves as a crucial resource for emergency responders and aims to become a central hub for the West Side community."
Here are some key excerpts from ChicagoDefender.com:
On Wednesday, Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot, alongside Chicago Police Department Superintendent David O. Brown, Chicago Fire Department Commissioner Annette Nance-Holt, Alderman Emma Mitts (37th Ward), Dr. Elizabeth Lockhart, and community partners, officially inaugurated the newly completed Public Safety Training Center (PSTC). This state-of-the-art training center equips the city’s emergency personnel with modern facilities to refine their skills for handling emergency responses, investigations, and tactical operations.
The PSTC boasts a six-story tower designed to simulate various environments firefighters encounter regularly, such as apartments, hotels, and office buildings. Additionally, it features an indoor and outdoor scenario village that mimics a typical four-way intersection found in most neighborhoods. This setup allows departments to practice responding to diverse emergency calls.
Situated on a 30.4-acre former rail yard, which had remained vacant for over 40 years before the city acquired it in 2017, the facility not only houses the main academy building but also plans to welcome two minority-owned restaurants, Peach’s and Culvers, as well as a 27,000-square-foot Boys and Girls Club—all set to open this summer. These establishments aim to serve as economic anchors for the community. Together, the PSTC, the Boys and Girls Club, and the Culver’s and Peach’s restaurants represent roughly $170 million in combined public and private investments within this area.
The PSTC is strategically located near two Invest South/West initiatives—one in Austin and another in West Humboldt Park—that anticipate $95 million in new private investment in the coming years. This investment is expected to spread outward from this building towards Austin and West Humboldt Park, fostering connections between neighborhoods while introducing new businesses, living-wage jobs, and improved housing options.
In my view, this initiative marks a significant step forward for the West Side, combining practical training needs with community development goals. It’s inspiring to see such substantial efforts being made to revitalize this part of Chicago while enhancing public safety infrastructure."
