🏛️ Government
Arlington Heights mayor-elect Jim Tinaglia said he hoped to speak with the Chicago White Sox about using the former Arlington Park site for an entertainment destination complex (he mentioned that talks with the Bears had also been underway).
He said he wanted to ensure any project was safe, economically wise, and manageable for traffic (key priorities for local planning).
Mayor-elect Jim Tinaglia won the race on Tuesday and will replace Mayor Tom Haynes, who did not run for another term.
He spoke with Marie Saavedra about the Chicago Bears possibly moving their stadium to the old Arlington International Racecourse site — a plan that could change local sports dynamics.
