In a continuing effort to gain as much information about Haymarket as possible, Mayor Pruyn and Administrator Ergo went to the Haymarket facility at 932 W. Washington in Chicago on Friday, August 23 to meet with Dr. Lustig and Sr. Executive Vice President Karen Kissel. 

The number one thing we wanted to convey to the Haymarket Team was how concerned we were about our Village’s resources, and the potential strain our Village would encounter. Dr. Lustig shared that they understood our position because their board recently sold a piece of Haymarket’s property to make up for three years of State funding they did not receive. 

We discussed our questions that have largely gone unanswered, and they indicated they were working on providing us written answers. We also toured the facility. 

We welcome continued dialogue with Haymarket and will pass along any information when we get it.
