Halted for nearly a month in the wake of a river spill, demolition at the future site of the permanent Bally’s Chicago Casino complex resumed Friday after the city approved a new plan for razing the last vestiges of the Freedom Center. Disappointing results from the first full year at the temporary Medinah Temple facility may make supplanting the former Chicago Tribune printing plant with the planned $1.7 billion gambling palace an even higher priority for both Bally’s and the city, which has reduced its casino tax revenue projection for 2025. “Our focus is getting into the permanent, getting that done,” Chris Jewett, Bally’s senior vice president of corporate development, said Monday.
