The Fulton Market Cold Storage Company building—a 10 story structure at Kinzie and Fulton that put everything from butter to pickled ham for 90 years—will become tech giant Google’s new Chicago home, it was announced last month. But the building’s transformation is one in a series of changes lately to the Fulton Market area. Since the 1990s, the century-old meatpacking district has seen an influx of condominiums, art galleries, restaurants and now office space. Can the Fulton Market area exist as a multi-use neighborhood, or will the new arrivals ultimately drive out the meatpacking business? To help us examine what’s happening in the Fulton Market area—and how industrial areas are lost or preserved—we have the neighborhood’s alderman, Walter Burnett, and zoning attorney and former top city zoning administrator Edward Kus, an attorney with the firm Shefsky & Froelich.
