Summary

Alderman William Hall (6th Ward) shared an update on the closure of the 87th & Cottage Grove Walgreens and said the community is pursuing stronger investment and improved healthcare access for the corridor, including discussions with mall ownership about potential replacement options such as CVS. The newsletter emphasizes continued engagement and “real progress” despite the store’s closure, but it does not describe specific zoning, development approvals, budget, transit, or street-safety votes or hearings.

Six Ward Family,


FINAL UPDATE: 87th & Cottage Grove Walgreens


Walgreens and its latest ownership group showed this community no loyalty and no respect, closing this store with no notice after years of support from residents who kept their doors open.


We will not beg a corporation that has turned its back on our neighborhood.


Our community is moving forward.


We have already had productive conversations with the mall ownership team and potential replacements, including CVS.


We are aggressively working toward stronger investment, healthcare access, and new opportunities for this corridor.


Stay encouraged. This community is united, resilient, and making progress with or without Walgreens.

Warm regards,


Alderman William Hall
