The current vision includes a 50,000-square-foot addition that will house the YMCA and Methodist clinic. The Boys and Girls Club building will also be renovated.
The Tolleston Opportunity Hub is a partnership between Methodist Hospitals, the Dean and Barbara White Family Foundation, Crossroads YMCA and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Northwest Indiana
HAMMOND â The city is preparing to button up various long-term developments in the near future, but development is far from over in Hammond.Â
In a few months, work at Oxbow Landing will be complete, Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. said Thursday during his 17th State of the City address with the Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce.
Located along an oxbow on the Little Calumet River, the development was once home to the crime-ridden River Park Apartments.
Promising to demolish the apartments is what helped McDermott win his bid to become mayor in 2004, he said.
And he did just that.
In 2004, the city spent $20 million to purchase and tear down River Park Apartments. Since then, the mixed-use development has become home to two hotels, two first-class commercial buildings, Byway Brewing and Buffalo Wild Wings.
