Skokie has won a $60,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Conservation to build a bicycle path along McCormick Boulevard between Main and Dempster Streets. The area is slated to become the Skokie Sculpture Park.
A public reception at the studio of Skokie artist Elliot Balter on September 25 will kick off an effort by backers of the proposed Skokie Sculpture Park to raise $365,000 over the next two years.
