CALUMET CITY â Thaddeus Jones took over as mayor barely three weeks ago, but he s not wasting any time addressing what he sees as the city s most pressing needs.
In a Monday morning tour around the city, Jones gave the Times an exclusive look at his plans to revitalize River Oaks Center, redevelop the site of a demolished shopping center on the southeast side, build the cityâs first new housing in two decades and relocate the public works facility away from a residential area on the northwest side.
Here s a closer look at what Jones is proposing:

Like former Mayor Michelle Markiewicz Qualkinbush, an 18-year incumbent whom Jones ousted in the February Democratic primary, Jones is pushing hard for the proposed south suburban casino to be awarded to Calumet City.

CALUMET CITY â More than two decades after becoming Calumet City s first black alderman, Thaddeus Jones made history again on Saturday.
Before several dozen family members, friends and elected officials in the city council chambers, Jones was sworn in as the first black mayor in the city s 128-year history.
The city s incumbent clerk, Nyota Figgs, and incumbent treasurer, Gerald Tarka, also were sworn in for another term, and seven council members also were sworn in.
Jones, who also is in his sixth term as a state representative for the 29th District, defeated 18-year incumbent Mayor Michelle Markiewicz Qualkinbush in February s Democratic primary and won this month s general election over write-in candidate Tony Quiroz.
