At the September 23, 2026 City Council meeting, ten public commenters spoke on the Protecting Renters Ordinance, the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park, a proposed Amtrak maintenance facility near Bridgeport, the cumulative impacts ordinance, Foundry Park TIF funding and a proposed heat illness ordinance. The Council adopted resolutions celebrating Latine Heritage Month, honoring rapid response networks formed during Operation Midway Blitz, and honoring retiring Corporation Counsel Mary Richardson Lowry, with extended remarks from many members. The Council passed the Finance Committee's TIF amendments, the Foundry Park redevelopment agreement (with Alderperson Maria E.
