Exclusive look inside Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park development in South Chicago
CBS News Chicago – A new development under construction in South Chicago will specialize in quantum computing.
It’s a massive priority for Gov. JB Pritzker, who pushed for the big bucks going into it, hoping to transform vacant space on the lakefront and position Illinois to become the next Silicon Valley.
The future is taking shape on South DuSable Lake Shore Drive on property that’s been vacant since 1992, when the 128-acre U.S. Steel South Works Plant permanently closed. Quantum computing and technology will run where those mills once did.
