The South Side took another step toward becoming a national computer hub Thursday when the Chicago Plan Commission approved the creation of a quantum computer research park on the long-vacant U.S. Steel South Works site. The vote came after hours of impassioned testimony from dozens of community residents. Many said the project represents an opportunity to bring billions of investment dollars and new businesses to a region that has suffered decades of isolation and disinvestment.
